Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) increase after surgery. The functional polymorphism in the IL-6 promoter region, G-174C, is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. We investigated the genetic predisposition in IL-6 response to coronary revascularization and studied the association between the G-174C polymorphism, IL-6 levels, and clinical outcomes of...
