Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) and its endogenous IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) play an important role in inflammatory response and in pain modulation. It has recently been shown that polymorphism of the IL-1beta and IL-1Ra genes may account for variation in the production of these cytokines. The present study examined the hypothesis that polymorphism of IL-1beta and IL-1Ra genes is involved in pain...
