However, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (rs1801133 and rs1801131), vitamin D receptor (TaqI and Fok1), and interleukin-16 (rs4778889 and rs11556218) gene polymorphisms were not associated with the risk of renal cell carcinoma.
Compared with the IL-16 -295 TT genotype, the CC genotype had a significantly decreased RCC risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.18-0.66).
