Genetically downregulated interleukin-6 signaling is associated with a favorable cardiometabolic profile: a phenome-wide association study
2020-11-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Interleukin-6 (IL6) signaling is a key inflammatory pathway widely implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases including autoimmune, vascular, and metabolic disorders. While IL6-receptor (IL6R) inhibitors are already in use for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, their repurposing potential and safety profile is still debated. <h4>Methods</h4> We used 7 genetic variants at the IL6R lo...
