Abstract excerpt
We tested the codon 72 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the tumor suppressor gene p53 for association with lung cancer. In our hospital-based case-control study, 168 lung cancer patients (134 males and 34 females) and 148 controls without malignant diseases were recruited. The genotype characteristics were determined by PCR-based RFLP method using DNA extracted from peripheral blood. Only in lung cancer...
