Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of -174 G/C promoter polymorphism of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the susceptibility to polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). We also investigated whether this polymorphism modulates the circulating level of IL-6 and the risk of relapse/recurrence in a series of patients with PMR...
