Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a potential mediator of systemic effects of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In the present case-control study we investigated the association of promoter polymorphisms of this gene and COPD in a cohort of 191 patients, smokers without COPD (n=75) and a healthy control population (n=296). Besides spirometry, exercise capacity (6MWD, 6 min walking distance) and body mass index...
