Abstract excerpt
The association between four BCL10 single nucleotide polymorphisms at codons 5, 8, 162, and intron 1 and the susceptibility or progression for germ cell tumors (GCTs) was investigated in 73 testicular GCT patients and 72 controls. GCT patients with metastatic disease were more likely to have a variant type allele of the polymorphisms at codon 5 (age-adjusted odds ratio (aOR)=6.25; 95% CI=1.09-35.83; P=0.040) and...
