Abstrakt: The article focuses on a study which investigated the association between immune function gene polymorphisms and the risk of testicular germ cell tumors. The study population were non-Hispanic Caucasians involved in the U.S. Servicemen's Testicular Tumor Environmental and Endocrine Determinants Study.
