Abstract excerpt
A substantial number of genes mutated in human cancers encode components of the cell cycle processes. As the G1/S transition in the cell cycle is a finely regulated biological process, we hypothesized that sequence variations in the promoter region of the related genes might indeed lead to abnormal expression, thus predisposing the individuals carrying these genetic variants to cancer. In this report, we screened...
