Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is the key regulator of cellular responses to hypoxia and plays a central role in tumour growth. Recently, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HIF-1 alpha gene, C1772T and G1790A, were shown to cause significantly higher transcriptional activity than did the wild-type. This study aimed to investigate the effect of these SNPs on the prognosis of...
