Abstract

The Interleukin-6/IL6 (rs1800797) variant play a role in several diseases pathogenesis. The frequency
genotype of IL6 (rs1800797) varied based on different race, ethnicity, and underlying character in
population. This study aimed to assess the frequency of genotype and allele of IL6 (rs1800797) in healthy
individuals at Medan city, North Sumatera Province Province and this study can be used as a reference in
determining of several diseases for further studies. Genotyping of IL6 (rs1800797) in the promoter region
using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism method, analysis using FokI
restriction enzyme. This study showed that the genotype frequency of GG, GA, and AA were 95.8 %, 4.2
%, and 0 %, respectively. The allele frequency of G and A were 97.9 % and 2.1 %, respectively. The results
indicated that the homozygous wild-type (GG) of IL6 (rs1800797) was higher than the heterozygous mutant
(GA) and there was absent of homozygous mutant (AA) in this population. The frequency of G allele also
higher than A mutant allele.
