The meta-analyses results show that 12 variants in the IL6R gene are significantly associated with risk of CVDs (CAD, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, aneurysms, and atherosclerosis), inflammatory or autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, dermatitis, and type 1 diabetes), and levels of inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, fibrinogen, IL-6, IL-6R, and sIL-6R). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is skin disorder.
