Abstract excerpt
The -670FAS (A/G) polymorphism and elevated concentrations of the soluble form of FAS (sFAS) have been associated with neoplasic and autoimmune diseases. This polymorphism in the Fas promoter gene could modulate the transcription of Fas expression and therefore, contribute to these pathologies. The in vivo functional significance of the FAS polymorphism was investigated by assessing the correlation between FAS...
