IL18-family Genes Polymorphism Is Associated with the Risk of Myocardial Infarction and IL18 Concentration in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.

Conclusions: Thus, polymorphism in the genes of IL18 receptor is determine the IL18 contents and important in the development of coronary atherosclerosis, associated pathological conditions and the risk of acute coronary events; prospective monitoring of patients with early clinical signs of adverse events is required to confirm the role of IL18, IL18R1, and IL18RAP genes polymorphism in atherogenesis.
