Interleukin 18 gene variation and risk of acute myocardial infarction.

Cytokine - 1 Dec 2011

Koch Werner, Wolferstetter Hannah, Schatke Anna, Schömig Albert, Kastrati Adnan

Abstract excerpt

Interleukin 18 is an important mediator of inflammation and has been associated with the development and aggravation of cardiovascular diseases. We report that common variation in the interleukin 18 gene is related to acute myocardial infarction, a frequent clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis and thrombosis in coronary arteries. In a population of European, mainly (90%) German, ancestry (2136 cases with...
