| Popis: | Interleukin-6 (IL-6) a pleiotropic cytokine is a central mediator of inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Our aim is to evaluate the serum levels of IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP) and to analyze the IL-6 polymorphism in CAD patients and to identify the first-degree relatives (FDRs) at risk of the disease in comparison with healthy controls. Estimation of IL-6 levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and CRP by latex reagent kit method, and genotyping of IL6 gene variants −174 (G>C) was carried out by polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 600 subjects. IL-6 and CRP levels were significantly high in patients followed by FDRs compared to controls. The frequency of the IL-6 genotype was significantly different between cases, FDRs and controls and association of serum IL-6 levels with genotype found to be significant in CC genotype compared to GC and GG at p |
