In vitro cancer cell line studies revealed a link between the Galphas protein and proapoptotic processes. We have recently shown that TT genotypes of the GNAS1 T393C polymorphism display increased transcription of Galphas and a more favorable clinical course in bladder and colorectal cancer patients compared both...
