Abstract excerpt
A common polymorphism (G870A) in the exon 4/intron 4 boundary of CCND1 gene has been linked to an alternate transcript, cyclin D1b, which preferentially encodes a protein with an increased transforming capability compared with the full-length D1a. Therefore, the CCND1 G870A polymorphism may influence an individual's susceptibility to the development of certain tumors. In the present study, we investigated the...
