Abstract excerpt
Although pancreatic cancer has been extensively studied, few risk factors have been identified. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) plays important roles in downregulating T-cell activation, thereby attenuating antitumor responses and increasing cancer susceptibility. The CTLA-4 gene +49G/A polymorphism (rs231775) has been reported to be associated with various cancers. The current study evaluated the...
