Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a key cytokine responsible for immune response and involved in the process of cancer development. The association of -137G>C polymorphism in the promoter region of IL-18 with cancer risk is still elusive based on current genetic association studies. We performed this meta-analysis to determine whether the -137G>C polymorphism is associated with cancer risk. A comprehensive search was...
