AIMS: In light to association of increased platelet glycoprotein Ia (GPIa) expression with tumor invasion and metastasis in several types of cancer, we investigated the possible contribution of a common polymorphism (C807/T807), affecting the GPIa gene expression, in the development of oral cancer. METHODS: DNA samples of 110 patients with oral cancer and 114 healthy controls were examined by allele-specific...
