چکیده
The role of IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism in the development of hypertension has been inclusive. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to determine whether there is an association between IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism and hypertension risk. PubMed, Embase and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched till Jun 2017. A total of 7 case-control studies with 1231 cases and 1122 controls were included. We did not found a significant association between IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism and the susceptibility to hypertension (OR=0.94; 95% CI, 0.71-1.24; P=0.67). In the subgroup analysis of race, both Asian (OR=1.52; 95% CI, 0.15-15.48; P=0.73) and Caucasian (OR=1.01; 95% CI, 0.84-1.21; P=0.92) with IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism did not show significant associations. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggested that IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism was not associated with the risk of hypertension.

Meta-analysis of the role of IL-6 rs1800795 polymorphism in the susceptibility to prostate cancer
Playing critical roles in immune responses, interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been proposed to be involved in the development of multiple cancers, including prostate cancer. The rs1800795 polymorphism in the promoter of the gene IL-6 can affect the transcription and expression of the gene, becoming a common target in association studies on tumors. We therefore carried out this meta-analysis to further d...

We investigated the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the interleukin (IL)-6 gene 174 G>C (rs1800795), 572 G>C (rs1800796), and 597 G/A (rs1800797) and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk in a Chinese population. This case-control study recruited 296 CAD patients and 327 controls between January 2009 and May 2012. Genotyping of IL-6 174 G>C (rs1800795), 572 G>C (rs1...

BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction are fatal diseases and are among the top 10 causes of death in Korea, including arterial thromboembolic events. Many previous studies have described the function of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in arterial thromboembolic events and the association between promoter single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs1800795; -174, G/C) of the IL-6 gene. However, ...
متن کاملIL-6 variant is associated with metastasis in breast cancer patients
INTRODUCTION Although tumor metastases remain significant drivers of mortality, the genetic factors that increase the risks of metastases are not fully identified. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) has emerged as an important factor in breast cancer progression with IL-6 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants shown to affect survival. We hypothesized that SNPs of the IL-6 promoter at rs1800795 in bre...

PURPOSE Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the sympathetic nervous system and many patients present with high-risk disease. Risk stratification, based on pathology and tumor-derived biomarkers, has improved prediction of clinical outcomes, but overall survival (OS) rates remain unfavorable and new therapeutic targets are needed. Some studies suggest a link between interleukin (IL)-6 and mor...
