Variability, Expression, and Methylation of IL-6 and IL-8 Genes in Bladder Cancer Pathophysiology.

Abstract excerpt

Bladder cancer (BC) is the 10th most common form of cancer globally, but its complete aetiology is still unknown. Nevertheless, there is evidence that chronic inflammation plays a role in the development and progression of BC. Therefore, the presented study aimed to detect a potential association between selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-rs1800797 and rs2069845 in IL-6 and rs2227307 in IL-8-and BC...
