Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Activated nuclear factor-ĸB is associated with the pathogenesis of numerous malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study aimed to clarify the influence of a common insertion/deletion polymorphism (-94 ins/del ATTG, rs28362491) in the NFKB1 promoter on RCC susceptibility. METHODS: We genotyped the NFKB1 -94 ins/del ATTG promoter polymorphism by the TaqMan method and assessed the...
