Circulating Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Associated Antigen-4 (CTLA-4) Levels and CTLA-4 Gene Polymorphism Role in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusions: The G allele and the heterozygous genotype (AG) may be regarded as protective factors from HNSCC, and AA genotype is risk factor for HNSCC. Soluble CTLA-4 rise remarkably in patients with HNSCC suggesting a function for this protein in pathogenesis of this disease.
