Abstract excerpt
Caspase-8 (CASP8) is a key controller of apoptosis, and its deregulation plays an important role in carcinogenesis. To evaluate the role of CASP8 polymorphisms in gallbladder cancer (GBC), we examined the risk associated with three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a case-control study in North Indian population. Genotypes and haplotypes of the CASP8 polymorphisms (-652 6N ins/del; rs3834129, Ex13 + 51G >...
