A meta-analysis of interleukin-6 promoter polymorphisms on risk of hip and knee osteoarthritis.
OBJECTIVE: Interleukin-6 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the role of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to the promoter of the IL-6 gene on genetic susceptibility to hip and knee OA. METHODS: The -174G/C (rs1800795)...
