Perturbations in the apoptotic genes have been implicated in human malignancies. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the polymorphisms of -938C/A, Thr43Ala in anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 gene (BCL2) and -248G/A in pro-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein gene (BAX) and to explore their role in influencing the susceptibility for development of esophageal cancer. A total of 205...
