Cytokine gene polymorphism with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in population from West India

ConclusionTheIL-6 -634C/G andIL-10-592 C/A polymorphisms were found to be associated with diabetic nephropathy in the West Indian population. The higher transcript level of inflammatory cytokines in patient groups compared to the control group may suggest the essential role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
