Association of Inherited Variation in Toll-Like Receptor Genes with Malignant Melanoma Susceptibility and Survival

The family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is critical in linking innate and acquired immunity. Polymorphisms in the genes encoding TLRs have been associated with autoimmune diseases and cancer. We investigated the genetic variation of TLR genes and its potential impact on melanoma susceptibility and...
