“…Magana et al found that GÀ174C SNP and A3 allele of CA polymorphism of IL-6 gene were associated with increased BMD whereas GÀ572C SNP was not associated in 70 osteoporotic and 70 non-osteoporotic Mexican women [26]. Another investigator reported that among 226 postmenopausal Polish women with T-scores below À2.5 SD, the lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD values were significantly lower in the carriers of the IL-6 GG (À174 G>C) genotype compared with the CC and GC genotypes [27]. The frequency of IL-6 À174 G>C SNP in 198 Korean adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients and 120 healthy girls was very low and because of this the genetic effect of this polymorphism could not be studied [28].…”

“…Furthermore, there was a statistically significant association between the IL-6 -174 G/C polymorphism and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (37). As the immune system plays such a critical role in the pathophysiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis, cytokines have the ability to influence each other; just as a mild increase in the production of proinflammatory cytokines would be found in a patient with osteoporosis, an increase in proinflammatory cytokines may exacerbate osteoporosis (37). Terauchi has suggested that counteracting these interactions could be a novel strategy for osteoporosis treatment (38).…”
