Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies examining the association between the interleukin 6 (IL-6)-174 C/G polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease (AD) have yielded conflicting results. Furthermore, the C allele of the IL-6 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism was associated with a delayed onset and a decreased risk of AD. METHODS: A total sample of 149 AD patients, and 298 age- and sex-matched unrelated...
