Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: MKK4 has been suggested as a tumor suppressor. The functional variant (-1304T>G) in the MKK4 promoter has been implicated as a risk factor for many types of cancer. However, its role in prostate cancer (PCa) is unclear. To determine whether this SNP constitutes a risk factor for PCa susceptibility and to derive a more precise estimation of the associations between this SNP and cancer risk, we performed a...
