Incidence of aortic regurgitation (AR) was significantly associated with the A allele (risk allele) of IL12B rs6871626 (CC 42%, AC 61%, AA 81%; p = 0.0052; odds ratio [OR] 2.45), as well as with the incidence of hypertension (p = 0.049; OR 1.82) and the proportion of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (p = 0.023; OR 3.64). The gene discussed is IL12B; the disease is aortic valve insufficiency.
