Interleukin-1beta gene (IL-1B) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene (IL-1RN) polymorphisms have been associated with increased GC risk. No previous studies have examined their role in an Arab population. We tested the associations between polymorphisms of IL1B at positions -31, -511, and +3954 and the IL-1RN polymorphism [variable number...
