Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on Toll-like Receptor-4 and the Risk of Developing Skin Cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an established risk factor for skin cancer. Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4)-mediated immune dysregulation has emerged as a key mechanism for the detrimental effects of acute and chronic UV exposure and skin cancer in mice. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the TLR4 gene have been reported to increase or decrease susceptibility to various cancers in other organs....
