  • Methods and reagents for detecting increased risk of developing an inflammatory disorder
    Publication number: 20020155474
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for reliably detecting an increased risk of developing an inflammatory disorder in a mammalian patient (e.g., a human being) by detecting at least one copy of an IL-1&bgr; gene haplotype in the patient comprising cytosine nucleotides at positions −31 and +3953. Also provided are kits for performing such methods. In addition, methods for detecting patients who require a higher dosage of an agent that reduces the effect of IL-1&bgr; are also provided.
