Abstract excerpt
Death receptor 4 (DR4) is an important mediator of apoptosis, and its dysfunction may be related to carcinogenesis and cancer development. We hypothesized that common variants in the DR4 gene are associated with risk of bladder cancer and test this hypothesis in a case-control study of 368 bladder cancer patients and 368 cancer-free controls. We genotyped six tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in...
