Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human lung cancer cells with high metastatic potential show reduced expression of the metastasis-suppressor gene NME1. However, the biallelic EcoRI polymorphism of this gene has not been studied in lung cancer. With this allelic association study, we aimed to investigate the impact of polymorphisms of the NME1 gene on the susceptibility to and severity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS:...
