The 4-bp insertion/deletion (Indel) polymorphism (rs3783553) within the 3' untranslated regions of IL1A gene has been suggested to be associated with risk of various types of cancers, possibly through regulating expression of IL-1α levels.
The results also suggest a high risk of cancer susceptibility in patients carried rs1800587 polymorphism, of which draw out form allelic and homozygote models in overall studies, especially for cervical cancer.
IL1A rs3783546 and rs3783521 were associated with an increased cancer risk in men, and IL1B rs3136558 and rs1143623 were associated with an decreased cancer risk in women.
