Family-based association study of interleukin 6 (IL6) and its receptor (IL6R) functional polymorphisms in schizophrenia in the Polish population

It seems advisable to carry out further examinations of the role of these polymorphisms in schizophrenia by means of TDT method and classical (case-control) association method.
