Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory cytokines, particularly interleukin-1β (IL-1β), have a main role in diabetic nephropathy (DN) pathogenesis. Genetic variations within the IL1B promoter region may modulate cytokine expression and affect vulnerability to renal injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to assess the correlation between the IL1B (-511C/T;rs16944) polymorphism, IL-1β serum levels, and renal function...
