Abstract excerpt
Urokinase is thought to be involved in the formation of oral cancer, although there is a lack of genetic evidence. Our aim was to study single nucleotide polymorphisms in order to investigate the possibility. A total of 130 oral cancer patients and 105 controls were studied. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based restriction analysis was used to identify the C/T polymorphism of the urokinase gene, which is located...
