Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional growth factor that plays important roles in many biological processes, whereas RUNX3 is a target of TGF-beta-mediated tumor suppressor pathway. In humans, RUNX3 inactivation may lead to the cancer development, including bladder cancer. To determine whether the RUNX3 polymorphisms are associated with risk of bladder cancer, we conducted a case-control...
