Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background </bold>Interleukin-6 (IL-6) signaling is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS). Growing evidence shows that the minor alleles of IL-6 receptor gene (<italic>IL-6R)</italic> variants rs2228145, rs7529229, and rs4129267<italic> </italic>significantly increase soluble IL-6R levels and reduce CAD risk. However, the role...
