Interleukin-6 signaling effects on ischemic stroke and other cardiovascular outcomes: a Mendelian Randomization study

2019-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Studies in humans and experimental models highlight a role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in cardiovascular disease. Indirect evidence suggests that inhibition of IL-6 signaling could lower risk of coronary artery disease. However, whether such an approach would be effective for ischemic stroke and other cardiovascular outcomes remains unknown. <h4>Methods</h4> In a genome-wide assoc...
