Interleukin-6 -634 C/G and -174 G/C Polymorphisms in Korean Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic inflammatory status is a possible risk factor for vascular access dysfunction in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but susceptibility differences appear among individuals. Interleukin (IL)-6 is a well-known inflammatory cytokine with various polymorphisms. We examined whether IL-6 polymorphisms are associated with vascular access dysfunction in HD patients. METHODS A total o...
متن کاملcorrelation of interleukin‑6‑174 gc and interleukin‑6‑572 gc gene polymorphisms with periodontal disease in an iranian population
background: periodontal disease has a multifactorial etiology. a combination of microbial agents and environmental, habitual, systemic, and genetic risk factors is responsible for the development of periodontal disease. host immune response causes the destruction of tooth‑supporting structure and eventual tooth loss. this study aimed to assess the correlation of interleukin 6 (il‑6) ‑174‑gc and...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 promoter polymorphisms (-174 G/C) in Malaysian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that involves the inflammation of various organs upon deposition of immune complexes and is characterized by uncontrolled B cell hyperactivity. Despite intensive research on the etiology of the disease, the exact cause of the onset of SLE is unknown. The pathogenesis of the disease has been proposed to be associated with the imb...
متن کاملsalivary levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in patients undergoing hemodialysis
background: infl ammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (il-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-α) are elevated in end-stage renal disease (esrd). il-6 and tnf-α are toxins which deteriorate renal function, and their pathogenic role has been confi rmed in cardiovascular and oral diseases. this study was designed to investigate the salivary levels of il-6 and tnf-α in patients with esrd un...
متن کاملGenomic analysis of the interleukin-1β-511 and interleukin-6-174 gene polymorphisms in Turkish patients with epilepsy.
In this study, we examined the frequency of polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL) genes IL-1β-511 and IL-6-174 in patients with epilepsy as well as a control group in Kars, Turkey. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with epilepsy and 100 nonepileptic subjects as a control group were examined. Peripheral blood samples were acquired from patients and control subjects for DNA extraction. The target...
