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 (...
