Abstract excerpt
The (-938C>A) polymorphism in the promoter region of the BCL-2 gene was recently associated with inferior time to treatment and overall survival in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients displaying the -938A/A genotype and may thus serve as an unfavorable genetic marker in CLL. Furthermore, the -938A/A genotype was associated with increased expression of Bcl-2. To investigate this further, we analyzed...
