Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) represents a significant cause of mortality, yet no medical therapies have proven efficacious. The aim of the current study was to leverage human genetic evidence to inform clinical development of IL-6 (interleukin-6) signaling inhibition for the treatment of AAA. METHODS: Associations of rs2228145, a missense variant in the IL6R gene region, are expressed per...
