Abstract excerpt
Lung inflammation is the major pathogenetic feature for both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. The nuclear factor-kappa B (NFκB) and its inhibitor (IκB) play crucial roles in inflammatory. Here, we tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NFκB/IκB confer consistent risks for COPD and lung cancer. Four putative functional SNPs (NFκB1: -94del>insATTG; NFκB2:...
