Abstract excerpt
The plasminogen pathway plays an important role in the behavior of many tumors including lung cancer. Hence genetic variants encoding plasminogen activator (PLAU), plasminogen receptor (PLAUR), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 (PAI-2) may contribute to lung cancer prognosis. To investigate this proposition we genotyped PAI-1 A15T, PLAU L141P, PLAUR L317P and PAI-2...
