Abstract excerpt

AIM: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and possibly plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The relationship between two IL-18 gene polymorphisms, namely C-607A and G-137C, and cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetic nephropathy was examined. METHODS: Two hundred and twenty patients (91 male) with diabetic nephropathy were studied. The IL-18 promoter...
