Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Constitutive activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB is frequently observed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The current study examined associations of polymorphisms within promoter regions of NFKB1 encoding NF-κB1 and NFKBIA encoding IκBα with the susceptibility of developing HCC and clinicopathological characteristics of the tumors. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Genetic polymorphisms of NFKB1...
