Abstract excerpt

In a case-control study, we studied the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the IL-8 promoter on the risk of the development of AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). KS developed in 46% of individuals with the TT genotype and in 66% of AA/AT genotypes (P=0.038). Patients with TT genotype were rarely affected with visceral KS (7% versus 36%; P=0.06), which suggests that carriers of the TT genotype are...
