Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We aim to investigate whether the association between circulating interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels and the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) is robust and perhaps even causal by a meta-analysis implementing mendelian randomization approach with IL-6 gene G-174C polymorphism as an instrument. METHODS: Data were available from 19 articles encompassing 9417 CAD patients and 15982 controls. A random...
