Abstract excerpt
Genetic association studies have implicated functional DNA polymorphisms in genes encoding factors related to angiogenesis, inflammation and thrombosis with increased risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study examines possible interactions between nine such genotype polymorphisms and their combinatory effect in assessing the OSCC risk in a European population. OSCC cases (N=162) and healthy...
