Abstract excerpt
We investigated the association between six common and novel interleukin-6 (IL-6) polymorphisms with the risk of cervical cancer (CC) among Tunisians. Study subjects comprised 112 CC cases and 164 control women. Genotyping of IL-6 rs2069845, rs2069840, rs1474348, rs1800795, rs1800797, variants was done by real-time PCR, with defined clusters. The allelic and genotypic distributions of the tested IL-6...
