Genotype and allele frequencies of the IL6prom and the IL6vntr polymorphisms in the group with Behçet’s disease (n = 89) and controls (n = 123)
| Controls No (%) | Behçet’s disease No (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| *p = 0.723 and **p = 0.922 for comparisons of the IL6prom between the patients with Behçet’s disease and controls; †p = 0.005 (pcorr = 0.01) and ‡p = 0.022 (pcorr = 0.044) for comparisons of the IL6vntr between the patients with Behçet’s disease and controls. | ||
