Immunity-related GTPase family M protein (IRGM) is a human protein recently highlighted for its contribution to autophagy upon infections. Evidences have shown that IRGM may also play critical roles in the pathogenesis of cancer. However, correlation between IRGM and glioma remains unclear. In the current study, we investigated two IRGM genetic polymorphisms, rs10065172C/T and rs13361189T/C, in glioma and their...
