Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the promoter region of several cytokine genes have been associated with differential cytokine production. Several reports indicate that polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) genes are associated with lipid abnormalities. The aim of this study was to identify the genotype frequencies for -308G/ATNF-alpha and -174G/CIL-6 polymorphisms in Mexican...
