In the present study we investigated whether variants at -1082G→A (rs1800896) and -592C→A (rs1800872) of interleukin-10 (IL-10), -1188A→C (rs3212227) of IL-12 p40, -308G→A of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (rs1800629), -174G→C of IL-6 (rs1800795) and +874A→T of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) genes (rs2430561) are associated with ACS.
