A genome-wide association scan on the levels of markers of inflammation in Sardinians reveals associations that underpin its complex regulation.

Identifying the genes that influence levels of pro-inflammatory molecules can help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this process. We first conducted a two-stage genome-wide association scan (GWAS) for the key inflammatory biomarkers Interleukin-6 (IL-6), the general measure of inflammation ery...
