Abstract excerpt
Background: Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IL1B genes have been associated with KTCN. However, the results of these studies were not conclusive. This meta-analysis association study is aimed to quantitatively estimate the association of IL1B rs16944 (g.4490T>C) and rs1143627 (g.4970C>T), and IL1A rs2071376 (c.615 + 169C>A) polymorphisms with KTCN susceptibility.Materials and Methods: Systematic...
