Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The functional polymorphisms regulating immunologic responses may influence the proliferation or suppression of malignant lymphoma. We examined the association between malignant lymphoma risk and the polymorphisms of the IL-1 gene family [IL-1B -31 C/T, IL-1A -889 C/T, and IL-1RN 86-bp variable number of terminal repeat (VNTR)] and myeloperoxidase (MPO -463 G/A). DESIGN AND METHODS: The...
