Abstract excerpt
The presence of functional regulatory polymorphism at the interleukin 6 (IL6) locus is uncertain, with many conflicting in vitro findings. To examine the in vivo effect of the three putative functional IL6 promoter variants, -174G>C, -572G>C and -6331T>C, two complementary techniques, allele-specific chromatin immunoprecipitation and allele-specific formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements, were...
