Abstract
The obstruction of the coronary arteries causes Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). It has been reported that interleukin-6 gene is related to the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. This was due to the large variability and short half-life of interleukin 6 (IL-6). There are few studies on the link between interleukin 6 and CAD on the patients with hypertension. Therefore, goal of this study was to see if there is a link between IL-6 gene polymorphisms and coronary artery disease with hypertension patients. The polymorphisms were carried out by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The data was determined for statistical significance using chi-square analysis. A significant difference was found in the GG genotype of IL-6 -174, which was more frequent in cases of CAD (48.67 %) than in controls (8%) and 95% CI was 0.473455 - 0.500326; P<0.010620511. The GG genotype of IL-6-572C/G polymorphism was more frequent in cases of CAD (42.6%) compared with controls (8%) and 95% CI 0.386724 - 0.480945; P<0.017939631). likewise, significant association of variant allele G with CAD patients was reported. Hypertension was significantly higher among patients as compared to controls (P<0.022847535). Our findings indicated that both gene polymorphisms may be associated with development of CAD.
