Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Genetic polymorphisms modulate the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. We prospectively assessed the influence of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNFα, IL6, and IL1β genes on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS: TNFα (G-238A, C-863A, G-308A), IL6 (C-174G), and IL1β (C-31T, C-511T) SNPs were assessed in 232 alcoholics and 253...
