Polymorphisms in cytokine genes responsible for inflammatory and immune responses are
associated with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-risk Chinese population …

Background: Associations between transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 polymorphisms and
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk remained controversial. Therefore, we performed this …

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is involved in cancer pathogenesis, and
TNF-α-308G> A, a single-nucleotide polymorphism, is associated with cancer prognosis; …

Cytokine gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are involved in the genesis and
progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesized that combined effects of …

Background: This study was aimed to evaluate the association between interleukin-6 (IL-6)
gene polymorphisms and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a meta-analysis …

AIM: To clarify whether-238G/A polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene
promoter region was associated with outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Han …

Purpose For decades of years, hundreds of candidate gene-based association studies
explored the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and …

Purpose: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), secreted by the activated macrophages, may
participate in the onset and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The association of TNF …

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a type of cytokine that inhibits tumorigenesis. Several studies
have assessed the relationship between the polymorphism of TNF-alpha 308G/A and the …

Objective To investigate the association between the single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and chronic severe hepatitis B. Methods Single …
