Genetically downregulated Interleukin-6 signalling is associated with a lower risk of frailty
1 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: numerous studies point towards a critical role of Interleukin 6 (IL-6) pathway in frailty pathogenesis yet the causal relationship between the two remains elusive. METHODS: we selected genetic variants near the IL-6 receptor locus (IL-6R) associated with reduced C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, a downstream effector of IL-6 pathway, and we used them as genetic proxies of IL-6 signalling...
