Abstract excerpt
Two p53 variable sites (BstUI and MspI SNPs in exon 4 and intron 6, respectively) and their haplotype combinations were studied in 109 patients (84 males and 25 females) with lung cancer and 113 healthy controls from the region of Eastern Slovakia. There were no differences found between lung cancer patients and controls carrying the distribution of p53 BstUI and MspI alleles. However, the genotype distribution...
