Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bcl-2 plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis. Recently, a novel regulatory single nucleotide polymorphism (-938C>A) in the inhibitory P2 BCL2 promoter was described. In this study we investigated its potential association with survival in epithelial ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients (n=110) with primary epithelial ovarian cancer were retrospectively genotyped by pyrosequencing....
