In addition, a series of genetic variants in MICA, MICB, NFKBIL1, SLC6A3, CLPTM1L, and TERT have been found to be associated with the susceptibility and prognosis of different cancer types (Rafnar et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009; Turnbull et al., 2010; Miki et al., 2011; Baek et al., 2018; Toledo-Stuardo et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene NFKBIL1 and cancer.
