Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We investigated the possible association of DNA polymorphisms -2548G/A and Q223R in the leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes, respectively, which both affect the amount of circulating cytokine-type hormone leptin, with risk for development of oral cancer. METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-based restriction analysis was performed in DNA samples of 150 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma...
