 Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) mRNA amounts in Helicobacter pylori infected patients harbouring different interleukin 1B (IL-1B) and interleukin 1receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) alleles, as well as the proinflammatory IL-1 polymorphism combination IL-1B−511T+/IL-1RN2+. As IL-1B−511T is in almost complete linkage disequilibrium with IL-1B−31C, data are not shown for the latter single nucleotide polymorphism. Bars within the plots represent median values and numbers above indicate mean IL-1β mRNA amounts for each group. p values were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
