We determined the IL-6 -174 G>C single nucleotide polymorphism, IL-6 mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and IL-6 plasma levels in HIV-1-infected patients with and without lipodystrophy and uninfected controls. HIV-1-infected patients had a greater prevalence of the IL-6 -174 C/C genotype and the C allele, higher SAT IL-6 mRNA expression and plasma IL-6 levels than controls. The IL-6 -174 G>C genotype distribution and allele frequencies, SAT IL-6 mRNA expression and IL-6 plasma levels were non-significantly different between HIV-1-infected patients with and without lipodystrophy.
