Interleukin-18 gene promoter polymorphism and the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a Chinese population.

DNA and cell biology - 1 Oct 2009

Nong Le-Gen, Luo Bin, Zhang Liang, Nong Hong-Bing

Abstract excerpt

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common cancers in southern China. In addition to environmental factors such as Epstein-Barr virus infection and chemical carcinogen exposure, genetic susceptibility has been reported to play a key role in the development of this disease. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a multifunctional cytokine that induces interferon-gamma secretion and plays an important role in...
