Genetic variation in the interleukin-6 gene in relation to risk and outcomes in acute coronary syndrome.

Thrombosis research - 1 Jan 2007

Mälarstig Anders, Wallentin Lars, Siegbahn Agneta

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The concept of inflammation in the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is today well established. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pleiotropic, proinflammatory cytokine, seems to play an important role in the development and progression of ACS. AIM: The aim was to investigate whether IL6 polymorphisms are associated with patient/control status, outcome in patients with ACS and plasma concentrations of IL-6 and...
