Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: There is growing evidence suggesting that IL-18 levels may affect individual to virus-associated neoplasia and that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the gene may influence its production. In this study we wanted to know whether IL-18 polymorphisms at positions -607 C/A and -137 G/A are associated with susceptibility and/or are markers of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) prognosis. METHODS:...
