Association of interleukin-6 and its -174G/C promoter polymorphism with clinical and laboratory characteristics of non hepatitis C virus rheumatoid arthritis patients
Background: Interleukin-6 is a cytokine protein, which causes inflammation, maintains immune homeostasis and shows a role in rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis. IL-6-174G/C promoter polymorphism may have a role in susceptibility to RA. Aim of the work: To evaluate the clinical significance of serum l...
