Abstract excerpt
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) plays a pivotal role in antiproliferative, antitumor and antiviral activities. The +874 polymorphism in IFN gene region reportedly affects cancer risk. However, pertinent studies offer conflicting results. To derive a more precise estimation, we performed a meta-analysis based on 1,929 cases and 2,830 controls from 17 published case-control studies, assessing the strength of the...
