Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To clarify the effect of genetic polymorphisms on the response to interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC), and to find a reliable molecular marker to select those patients with MRCC who would benefit from IFN-alpha immunotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out an association study in which 463 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 33 candidate genes were genotyped...
