%X Background:Long term microvascular complications of DM includes: nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy. Increased level of IL-6 and its polymorphism have been associated with diabetic nephropathy.The present study was designed to determine serum level of IL-6 and C/G polymorphism at £¿ 634 position in the promoter region of IL-6 gene in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without nephropathy
