Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relations of chemokine CXCL12, previously known as stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF1), and its receptor, CXCR4, gene variants on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk and disease severity. METHODS: Through a case-control study design, genomic DNA samples of 247 NSCLC patients and 328 age and sex-matched controls were subjected to polymerase chain...
