Interleukin-6 serum level and -597 A/G gene polymorphism in moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Inflammation is a major pathogenic pathway in pulmonary chronic obstructive disease (COPD). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) mediates the local and systemic immune response. The aim consisted in investigating the relationship between IL-6 serum levels and IL-6 -597A/G gene polymorphism (rs1800797) with COPD. Se...
