“…When we investigated the IL-8-845 T/C polymorphism, our results revealed an association of IL-8-845 C with susceptibility to gastric cancer and the influence of the C allele on the IL-8 mRNA expression level. The scarcity of studies on this polymorphism may be explained by the low frequency of the C allele, which is absent in European and Asian populations [19,57]. In contrast, this allele is common in individuals of African descent (19 %) [58], with a frequency similar to that of gastric cancer patients in our study (15 %).…”

“…In the Indian context, polymorphisms in XRCC1, p53, N-acetylation 2, EGFR, and UGT genes were reported to augment lung cancer susceptibility [29]. However, there are no reports that correlate the association of cytokine gene polymorphisms and NSCLC risk in the Indian population, except for one report that suggests a dearth of association between the IL-8 gene polymorphism and NSCLC in the population of Kashmir valley [30]. The Indian subcontinent is diverse in terms of climate, food habits, lifestyle, environmental factors, and, more importantly, the ethnic background of the population.…”
