Abstract excerpt
Thymidylate synthase (TS) gene contains 28-bp polymorphic sequence and 6-bp insert at the 5'- and 3'-untranslated region, respectively. We investigated the role of these two polymorphic traits on TS mRNA expression in nine different cultured human cancer cell lines in vitro. Three cell lines each were 2R/2R, 2R/3R and 3R/3R genotypes. Six of the nine cell lines...
