Background And Objectives: The tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and interleukin (IL)-6 gene polymorphism has a controversial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease among different populations. The effect of the cytokine's gene polymorphism on idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is still unresolved. The current study aimed to evaluate the association of the TNF-a -308 G/A and IL-6 -174 G/C polymorphism with IDCM in a Pakistani population.
