Role of IL-4 gene polymorphisms in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma in a Chinese population.
BACKGROUND: Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is best known as an important mediator and modulator of immune and inflammatory responses. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a typical inflammation-related cancer, and genetic variations in the IL-4 gene may be associated with the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-rela...
