Influence of <i>IL-6</i>, <i>IL-10</i>, <i>IFN-γ</i> and <i>TNF-α</i> genetic variants on susceptibility to diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

Although inflammatory cytokine genotypes and, more importantly, haplotypes may have the potential to identify those patients at risk of DKD, hence, improving DKD predisposition prediction, further investigations regarding their real clinical significance is warranted in a large cohort of patients.
