Abstract excerpt
CXCL12 provides a chemotactic signal-directing leucocyte migration and regulates metastatic behaviour of tumour cells. We conducted a population-based case-control study to test the hypothesis that common genetic variation in CXCL12 individual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles and haplotypes] is associated with the risk of cervical carcinoma. Cases (n = 917) were residents of western Washington State...
