Abstract excerpt
Recently, two single nucleotide polymorphisms in the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) gene, P582S and A588T, were shown to cause significantly higher transcriptional activity than the wild type. We investigated the association between the HIF-1 alpha polymorphisms and the incidence and progression of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, and the relationship between the polymorphisms and the...
