Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the influence of genetic variants IL-6 (-174 G/C) and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) (+ 874 A/T) on beta-globin gene expression, inflammation markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), and their diagnostic impact on anemic Sudanese children with kidney failure. RESULTS: Severe and moderate anemia were observed in 88.9% of children aged 5-15 years. Semi-quantified molecular analysis of...
