Abstract excerpt
The association between a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; -607A/C) in the promoter region of the IL-18 gene with IL-18 promoter transcription activity and the level of IL-18 protein production has been observed repeatedly. However, the association between the IL-18-607A/C (rs1946518) promoter polymorphism and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in a Chinese Han population is still unclear. A total of 166 patients with...
