Interleukin-6 receptor gene, plasma C-reactive protein, and diabetes risk in women.

Diabetes - 1 Jan 2009

Qi Lu, Rifai Nader, Hu Frank B

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) related common variants in the interleukin-6 (Il-6) receptor (IL6R) gene to plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations. Because IL6R variants were previously associated with IL-6 levels, we tested whether the associations with CRP were independent of IL-6 and the interactions between IL6R variants and CRP in relation to diabetes risk.
