Furthermore, no significant difference in the serum levels of IL-10 among the IPF who carried the ACC haplotype [median 3.56 pg/ml (range 0.00 – 7.16 pg/ml)] compared with the levels in ACC haplotype-negative patients [median 4.50 pg/ml (range 0.00 – 12.16 pg/ml)] (p = 0.281). Here, IL10 is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
