Strong evidence was assigned to 29 associations that investigated ten variants (rs2228145, rs4129267, rs7529229, rs4537545, rs7518199, rs4845625, rs4553185, rs4845618, rs4845371, and rs6667434) related to the risk of four cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and abdominal aortic aneurysms), four inflammatory diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, dermatitis, and asthma), and concentration of four phenotypes (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, IL-6, and sIL-6R). Here, IL6 is linked to asthma.
