Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key regulator of cellular response to hypoxia and has been suggested to play an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of HIF-1α-1772 C/T (P582S) and -1790 G/A (A588T) polymorphisms in the susceptibility to and severity of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using a case-control study design and polymerase chain...
