Abstract excerpt

Insulin-like growth factor-I modulates cell growth and survival, and is thought to be important in tumor development. A (CA)19 repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of IGF-I gene that may affect transcription activity has been implicated as a risk factor for cancer, but individual studies have been inconclusive or controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of 17 studies with IGF-I (CA)19 repeat...
