Association between IL6 gene polymorphism and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the north Indian population
Interleukin-6 (IL6) is encoded by the IL6 gene in human and acts as pro-inflammatory cytokine and an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Recent studies established that IL6 substantially contribute in the diagnosed of systemic inflammation for the patients suffering from lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Thereof, this work aimed to investigate the prot...

Aim and Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder with cytogenetic characterization of the abnormal Philadelphia chromosome. This chromosome results from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22. This is an important signaling pathway in the process of cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis, as well as the pathogenesis of TGF-β disease, i...
