Growing evidence suggests that inflammation is a significant contributor to different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed to assess the causal inference between plasma soluble IL6 receptor (sIL6R), a negative regulator of IL6 signaling, and different cardiovascular and immune-related disorders.  Cis -MR with multiple instrumental variables showed an inverse association of sIL6R with rheumatoid arthritis, atrial fibrillation, stroke, coronary artery disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. However, genetically-determined sIL6R level was positively associated with atopic dermatitis and asthma. Also, sIL6R level was associated with longevity, as evaluated by parental age at death, a heritable trait. Gene-based association analysis with S-PrediXcan by using tissues from GTExV7 showed that  IL6R  tissue expression-disease pair associations were consistent with the directional effect of IL6 signaling identified in MR. Genetically-determined reduced IL6 signaling lowers the risk of multiple CVDs and is associated with increased longevity, but at the expense of higher atopic risk.
