Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling may play a causal role in the development of coronary heart disease. However, the relationship between IL-6 genotypes and plasma levels of IL-6 appears to be complex. To help clarify the inconsistent findings, we conducted a meta-analysis of the published genetic association studies of the -174 G/C polymorphisms in the IL-6 gene and the circulating IL-6 levels in a normal...
