intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1) polymorphisms and cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Polymorphisms and Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) Lys469Glu (K469E) polymorphism and Gly 241Arg (G241R) polymorphism might play important roles in cancer development and progression. However, the results of previous studies are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ICAM-1 K469E and G241R polymorphisms and the risk of cancer by meta-analysis. METHODS A...

Intercellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM)-1,

Polymorphisms in the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 gene and cancer risk: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES The correlation between intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) common polymorphisms (rs5498 A>G and rs3093030 C>T) and cancer susceptibility has been explored in various ethnic groups and different cancer types; however, these investigations have yielded contradictory results. To address the relationship more precisely, we performed this meta-analysis. DESIGN AND METHODS EmBase...

A Comparative Study of Serum Level of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1(ICAM-1) and High Sensitive C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) in Normal and Pre-eclamptic Pregnancies

Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) gene polymorphisms in Italian patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

AIMS Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a wide range of clinical expressions which probably reflects different genetic backgrounds. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in the inflammatory synovial activity in RA. The aim of this study was to examine the potential associations of ICAM-1 gene polymorphisms with RA and its severity. METHODS Seventy-eight seropositive It...

Vitreous levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) as a risk indicator of proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

AIM To investigate whether high vitreous levels of the soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) may be related to clinical risk factors of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and whether their measurement may serve as an additional risk indicator of this complication in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS Levels of sICAM-1 were measured by enzyme linked imm...
