Abstract excerpt

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a key cytokine responsible for immune response and involved in the process of cancer development. In this case-control study, we tested whether IL-18 promoter polymorphism contributes to breast cancer susceptibility in Brazilian patients. The two groups studied were 154 patients with breast cancer and 118 healthy individuals. The frequency of IL-18 promoter single nucleotide...
