Optimized PCR with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) for fast and efficient determination of Interleukin-6 Promoter (-597/-572/-174)Haplotypes

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter polymorphisms at positions -597(G→A), -572(G→C) and -174(G→C) were shown to have a clinical impact on different major diseases. At present PCR-SSP protocols for IL-6 (-597/-572/-174)haplotyping are elaborate and require large amounts of genomic DNA. FINDINGS...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) promoter polymorphisms at positions -597(G→A), -572(G→C) and -174(G→C) were shown to have a clinical impact on different major diseases. At present PCR-SSP protocols for IL-6 (-597/-572/-174)haplotyping are elaborate and require large amounts of genomic DNA. FINDINGS: We describe an improved typing technique requiring a decreased number of PCR-reactions and a reduced PCR-runtime due to optimized PCR-conditions. CONCLUSION: This enables a fast and efficient determination of IL-6 (-597/-572/-174)haplotypes in clinical diagnosis and further evaluation of IL-6 promoter polymorphisms in larger patient cohorts.
