Abstract excerpt
The 870A>G polymorphism in the cyclin D1 (CCND1) gene modulates mRNA splicing, leading to altered protein that may affect the regulation of the G1/S cell-cycle checkpoint. This polymorphism has been reported to influence susceptibility to and progression of several malignancies. Furthermore, the change of retinoblastoma protein regulation mediated by CCND1 may play a role in the development of methotrexate (MTX)...
