Influence of interleukin-18 gene polymorphisms on acute pancreatitis susceptibility in a Chinese population
“Influence of interleukin-18 gene polymorphisms on acute pancreatitis susceptibility in a Chinese population”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.
, We investigate the relationship between IL-18 -607C/A and -137G/C genetic polymorphisms and development of acute pancreatitis in a Chinese population. A total of 153 patients were consecutively recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2013 and November 2014. Genotyping of IL-18 -607C/A and -137G/C variants was performed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.
