Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an important pro-inflammatory mediator implicated in immune-mediated complications of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). In accord with previous reports, this preliminary study on 56 donor-recipient pairs revealed IL-6-174 single nucleotide polymorphisms as a risk factor for the development of acute graft-versus-host disease and decreased survival after aHSCT.Entities:
