Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The level of circulating interleukin-6 receptor in human blood varies depending on the genetic and/or physiological causes, and has been implicated in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases. METHOD: The cis-regulatory effects of genetic variations on the transcription of interleukin-6 receptor gene, IL6R,were studied by assessing allelic transcriptions in the immortalized lymphocytes derived...
