In concordance with previous findings from Sanabria-Salas et al. on haplotypes of the IL1B gene and CRC risk in populations with African ancestry (8), we observed a 9-fold increase expression of IL1B, a 7.6-fold increase in IL8 expression, and a 3.3-fold increase in IL1A in AA patients when compared to CA patients (Table 2). Here, CXCL8 is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
