Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), encoded by the IL1B gene, is a cytokine important in regulation of the inflammatory response. Elevated levels of IL1B expression have been associated with risk of gastric and lung cancer. We previously reported that a certain haplotype containing four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (-3893G, -1464G, -511C and -31T; GGCT) in the IL1B gene regulatory region was associated with lung...
