Assessment of IL‐18 Serum Level and Its Promoter Polymorphisms in the Saudi Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Patients

Abstract: The purpose of the current study was to find out the possible changes polymorphic site at the promoter region of IL-18 gene in Saudi CAD patients. We have also measured serum IL-18 level to find out, the likely association between its level and polymorphic site. The present study included total 197 subjects (98 confirmed CAD patients both men and women and 99 healthy control individuals). Serum concentration of IL-18 was measured by enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay. For SNPs analysis, sanger method of DNA se… Show more

“…In our earlier studies, we reported non‐significant associations of SNPs in promoter region of IL‐6, IL‐18, and IL‐1β genes with Saudi CVD patients . However, the present study reports a significant association between polymorphism in IL‐10 promoters at −1082 and −819 sites with Saudi CVD patients.…”
