Abstract excerpt
Cyclin D1, encoded by the CCND1 gene and activated by the adenomatous polyposis coli-beta-catenin-T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancing factor pathway, induces G(1) to S-phase cell cycle transition, promoting cell proliferation. A recently described codon 242, exon 4, G to A single nucleotide polymorphism (A870G) produces a longer half-life cyclin D1. To investigate whether CCND1 genotype influences risk for...
