30 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine p16 gene mutation, deletion, and promoter 5' CpG island hypermethylation in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocyte of patients with arseniasis as attributed to exposure to indoor unventilated coal stove. The role of the aberrant change of p16 gene in the induction and development of carcinogenesis in endemic arsenisiasis region in China was also examined. Polymerase chain...
