Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of viral myocarditis (VMC). However, the role of IL-17A polymorphisms in susceptibility to VMC has not been reported to date. The aim of this study was to explore the association between IL-17A variants as well as serum IL-17 levels with VMC. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2275913, rs3819025, and rs3748067) were analyzed by the...
