Özet

Background: The IL6 gene is related to several disease states. Its relation to aneurysm formation and aneurysmal SAH has been studied in the literature, but the reported results have not resulted in definite positive or negative data. In this study we aimed to examine IL6 gene polymorphisms in a Turkish population and further our understanding of the relationship.
