Various polymorphisms in cytokine genes have recently been investigated as candidate risk factors in allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We retrospectively analyzed specific polymorphisms in genes for interleukin (IL)-10, IL-6, tumor-necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in a pediatric cohort of 57 histocompatibility leucocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling...
