Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggest that IL-18 gene polymorphisms may be risk factors for several cancers. Increasing studies investigating the association between IL-18 gene promoter polymorphisms (-607 C>A and -137G>C) and cancer risk have yielded conflicting results. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We performed a meta-analysis of 26 studies including 4096 cases and 5222 controls. We assessed the strength of the...
