Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The c-MET receptor and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been shown to be overexpressed in tissue from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients with nasal polyps compared with that from controls. We assessed the genetic association of polymorphisms in the met proto-oncogene (MET) gene with CRS. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control genetic association study. SETTING: Tertiary-care university hospital....
