Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although genetic evidence supports IL-6 (interleukin-6) signaling inhibition as protective against atherosclerotic disease, its potential effects on thromboembolic outcomes are not well established. We conducted a Mendelian randomization analysis to investigate the association of genetically proxied IL-6 signaling inhibition with venous thromboembolism, cardioembolic stroke, and coagulation cascade...
