No correlation was found between immunoexpression of cytokines and anatomical site of BCC (rs = 0.116 for IFN-γ, rs = 0.001 for IL-17, rs = 0.369 for IL-23, rs = -0.055 for IL-22; all having p>0.05) or absence/presence of solar elastosis (rs = 0.114 for IFN-γ; rs = -0.155 for IL-17; rs = -0.0948 for IL-23, rs = 0.139 for IL-22; all having p>0.05). The gene discussed is IFNG; the disease is skin basal cell carcinoma.
