Abstract excerpt
Caspase-3 (CASP-3) is a primary effector CASP that executes programmed cell death, and it plays an important role in the development and progression of cancer. Polymorphisms in the CASP-3 gene may influence CASP-3 production and/or activity, thereby modulating the susceptibility to lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we first screened for polymorphisms in the CASP-3 gene by direct sequencing of genomic DNA...
