Interleukin-6 receptor gene variations, plasma interleukin-6 levels, and type 2 diabetes in U.S. Women.

Diabetes - 1 Dec 2007

Qi Lu, Rifai Nader, Hu Frank B

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations between common variations in the IL6R gene and circulating interleukin (IL)-6 levels and diabetes risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We determined 10 linkage disequilibrium (LD)-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (SNP1 to SNP10) for the IL6R gene in a nested case-control study of 672 diabetic and 1,058 healthy European Caucasian women (IL-6 levels were measured...
