Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-10 has important effects in immunoregulation and inflammation, and previous studies have provided evidence for the involvement of IL-10 in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). In this study, we investigated whether genetic variants of the IL-10 gene were associated with CD in a New Zealand population. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of IL-10 (rs1800871,...
