Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is critical in maintaining genomic stability and may modulate the cellular response to gemcitabine. We hypothesized that genetic variations in MMR may affect the clinical outcome of patients with pancreatic cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated 15 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of eight MMR genes in 154 patients with potentially resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma...
