Evaluation of the Role of -137G/C Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (rs187238) and Gene Expression Levels of the IL-18 in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Objectives: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokine, and its genetic variations may contribute to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to investigate the role of -137G/C polymorphism and gene expression levels of IL-18 in patients with CAD. Methods: The study popul …
