Abstract excerpt
Interleukin (IL)-1 gene polymorphisms affect several inflammatory diseases, including cancer. Therefore, we studied genetic association of biallelic (-511C>T) polymorphism of IL-1 beta and 86-bp VNTR polymorphism of IL-1RN in 159 patients with esophageal cancer (EC) and 194 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Genetic analysis for IL-1 polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction...
