Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)alpha) plays a key role in tumorigenesis via generating arachidonic acids as the substrate of cyclooxygenase. The aim of this study was to elucidate the possible associations between cPLA ( 2 )alpha gene polymorphisms and phenotypic featur...
