Abstract excerpt

It is unknown whether IL-6, a central regulator of inflammation, is a cause of or just a marker of atherosclerosis. Studies of genetic susceptibility to inflammation, however, avoid the potential for reverse causality. Variation in IL6 gene was studied as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CV...
