Abstract excerpt
Abnormal expression of the costimulatory molecules cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), CD28, and inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) leads to disturbances of immune response and an increased risk of cancer. An extended study was undertaken to evaluate the association among the polymorphisms CTLA-4c.49A>G, CTLA-4g.319C>T, CTLA-4g.*642AT(8_33), CD28c.17+3T>C, and ICOSc.1554+4GT(8_15) and susceptibility to B-cell...
