Abstract excerpt
The hMSH2 (human MutS homolog 2) gene plays a central role in DNA mismatch repair. Structural variations in the gene may lead to protein instability and deficient mismatch repair. However, the role of polymorphic variants of the hMSH2 gene have not been defined in head and neck cancer. In this study, the roles of three polymorphic variants in the functional domains of the gene were investigated in 166 patients...
