EGF gene polymorphism and the risk of incident primary melanoma.

Cancer research - 15 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) pathway has been implicated in melanoma pathogenesis, and a recent case-control study identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (G to A) in the EGF gene where the G allele was associated with increased EGF expression and an increased risk of m...
