Abstract excerpt
Mutations leading to the alteration of cell-cycle checkpoint functions are a common feature of most cancers. Because of the highly regulated nature of the cell cycle, it seems likely that variation in gene dosage of key components due to functional regulatory polymorphisms could play an important role in cancer development. Here we provide evidence of the involvement of promoter single-nucleotide polymorphisms...
