Abstract excerpt
Aurora-A kinase is considered a potential cancer susceptibility gene that encodes a centrosome-associated, cell cycle-regulated serine/threonine kinase. We studied two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the coding region of Aurora-A, 91T-to-A (F31I) and 169G-to-A (V57I). We studied the influence of these two polymorphisms on age of onset of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Genotyping of...
