IL-8, IL-6, IL-1 Beta and TET2 and DNMT3A in Atherosclerosis
First Claim
1. A method of treating atherosclerosis in a human subject comprising administering an effective amount of at least one IL-8 inhibitor, IL-6 inhibitor, and/or IL-1β
- inhibitor, wherein the subject has a TET2 mutation and/or a DNMT3A mutation, thereby treating atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The application presently discloses a method of treating atherosclerosis in a human subject comprising administering an effective amount of an IL-8 inhibitor, an IL-6 inhibitor, and/or an IL-1β inhibitor, wherein the subject has a TET2 and/or DNMT3A mutation thereby treating atherosclerosis. It also discloses a method for treating atherosclerosis in a human subject comprising sequencing at least a part of a genome comprising TET2 and/or DNMT3A of one or more cells in a blood sample of the subject; determining from the sequencing whether the subject has one or more mutations in TET2 and/or DNMT3A, if it is determined that the subject has at least one TET2 and/or DNMT3A mutation, administering an IL-8 inhibitor, an IL-6 inhibitor, and/or an IL-1β inhibitor to a subject to the subject thereby treating atherosclerosis.
