Genetic perturbation of IL-6 receptor signaling pathway and risk of multiple respiratory diseases
19 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of inflammation can lead to multiple chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Interleukin-6 (IL6) is crucial in regulating the inflammatory cascade, but the causal link between IL6 signaling downregulation and respiratory diseases risk is unclear. This study uses Mendelian randomization to examine the effects of IL6R blockade on respiratory...
