Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: We have previously found an association of platelet glycoprotein Ia polymorphism with increased risk for oral cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible relation of another platelet glycoprotein, Iba (GPIbalpha), with oral oncogenesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism of the GPIbalpha gene, which affects the protein's structure and...
