The -174 G/C gene polymorphism in interleukin-6 is associated with an aggressive breast cancer phenotype.

British journal of cancer - 26 Jan 2004

Iacopetta B, Grieu F, Joseph D

Abstract excerpt

Serum and tissue levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) have been implicated in the biological phenotype of breast carcinoma. A common G/C polymorphism at position -174 of the IL-6 promoter can influence the expression level of this gene. We therefore investigated for associations between this polymorphi...
