IL6 and plasma cell myeloma: In contrast, Gu et al. found that, in the Han Chinese population, the risk of NHL, in particular, multiple myeloma, is positively associated with IL-6 rs1800795 (GC versus GG: OR = 3.976, 95% CI: 1.400–11.295, p = 0.006) and IL-6 rs1800797 (GA versus GG: OR = 3.976, 95% CI: 1.400–11.295, p = 0.006) polymorphisms [17].
