Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study explores the influence of two functional genetic polymorphisms in the regulated on activation in normal T-cell expressed and secreted(RANTES) promoter on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence in patients with alcoholic or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis. METHODS: RANTES C-28G and G-403A promoter dimorphisms and RANTES serum levels were assessed in 243 HCV-infected...
