In the allele model of IL-6-174G/C study, the P-values for Asian, European, Africans and global effects were 0.951, 0.123, 0.307 and 0.101, respectively, which were all greater than 0.05, indicating that IL-6-174G/C gene polymorphism was not associated with neonatal sepsis under the allele model. Here, IL6 is linked to Neonatal sepsis.
