Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Previously we reported an association between levels of anti-Hsp60 autoantibodies and interleukin-6 (IL-6) -174 SNP in Finnish population. The aim of this study was to investigate the same association in an independent population and to study four recently described SNP in IL-6. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 313 healthy Hungarian subjects were recruited and genotyped for IL-6 -174(G-->C), -9316(T-->C),...
