Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR pathway is one of the oncogenic signaling cascades involved in lung cancer, mediating the epidermal growth factor receptor gene EGFR. First-intron polymorphisms with greater numbers of CA dinucleotide repeats tend to downregulate EGFR expression, which suggests that this polymorphism may modulate susceptibility to lung cancer. The present hospital-based case-control study...
