Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4 G/5 G polymorphism and endometrial cancer. Influence of PAI-1 polymorphism on tissue PAI-1 antigen and mRNA expression and tumor severity.

Abstract excerpt

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G polymorphism may have significance for PAI-1 expression. High levels of PAI-1 in endometrial cancer patients are associated with a poor prognosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism in women with and without endometrial cancer and to analyze the influence of this polymorphism on PAI-1 expression in endometrial tissue. In 423...
