Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a potent immunoregulatory molecule that suppresses antitumor response by downregulating T cell activation. The most studied +49A>G polymorphism of the CTLA-4 gene has been associated with several autoimmune diseases. However, little is known about the association between this functional polymorphism of CTLA-4 and cancer prognosis.
