Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The possible contribution of interleukin-18 (IL-18) -607 A/C polymorphism towards the development of colorectal cancer was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: DNA samples of 84 patients with colorectal cancer (adenocarcinomas) and 89 healthy controls were examined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction followed by electrophoretic analysis. The resulting allele and genotype frequencies of...
