Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a key enzyme in DNA synthesis. The 28-bp tandem repeat in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of TS gene and the G/C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of TS gene may modify the expression and activity of TS protein, therefore, may change the susceptibility and prognosis of tumors. This study was to explore the correlations of TS 5'-UTR polymorphism to lymph...
