Lu et al., (2016) have examined the association of genetic variants at inflammatory response genes such as PPARG Pro12Ala, IL6-174G/C, E-selectin S128R, NFKB1-94 ins/del, NFKBIA-826C/T, and ICAM-1 K469E with susceptibility to ovarian cancer in a Chinese population. Here, PPARG is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
