The influence of genetic variability in IL1B and MIR146A on the risk of pleural plaques and malignant mesothelioma
Asbestos exposure is associated with the development of pleural plaques as well as malignant mesothelioma (MM). Asbestos fibres activate macrophages, leading to the release of inflammatory mediators including interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β). The expression of IL-1β may be influenced by genetic variabilit...
