Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a circulatory, pleiotropic cytokine with multiple roles in the immune system. Both IL-6 and the IL6 -174G>C promoter polymorphism have been linked to various diseases associated with inflammation. However, the mechanism by which the polymorphism influences disease risk is unclear. We postulated that serum proteome analysis of individuals with different IL6 -174G>C genotypes would provide...
