Abstract
The IL-6-174 GG and -572 GC genotypes were associated with a higher incidence of histologic chorioamnionitis, and the IL-6-174 CC genotype was associated with septicemia in preterm infants. These findings suggest that the genetic composition of the IL-6 promoter area plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of chorioamnionitis and neonatal infections.
