Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokines produced by T helper 17 (Th17) cells, which plays an important role in both innate and adaptive immune systems. Genetic variants in the IL-17 genes may influence the immunopathogenesis of many cancers. In our study, we investigated the association of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: -152 G/A, 7488 A/G and 7383 A/G) in the IL-17A and IL-17F genes...
