Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular Carcinoma?(HCC) is one of the most common cancer in Egypt. Interleukin-8 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (-251 and +781 SNPs) are proposed genes for cancer susceptibility. Our aim was to evaluate the association of these two IL-8 SNPs polymorphisms and IL-8 gene expression with HCC in Egyptian patients with liver cirrhosis. IL-8 -251 and + 781 SNPs were assayed by TaqMan technique and IL-8 gene...
