Abstract excerpt
The FAS/FAS ligand (FASL) system plays a key role in regulating apoptotic cell death, and corruption of this signaling pathway has been shown to participate in tumorigenesis. However, the effects of functional promoter polymorphisms of the CASP8, FAS, and FASL genes on risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are unknown. In this study, we genotyped CASP8 -652 6N ins/del, FAS -1377 G > A, FAS -670 A > G, and FASL -844...
