IL1B and type 1 diabetes mellitus: In view of the potential role of IL1B rs1143627 and rs1143643 in the immune and inflammatory-related diseases mentioned above and the fact that relationships between polymorphisms in the IL1B gene and the risk of T1DM remain discrepant, we aimed to investigate whether the presence of these two polymorphisms (rs1143627 and rs1143643) is associated with T1DM.
