Abstract excerpt
Caspase-8 (CASP8) plays a critical role in regulating apoptosis, and its functional polymorphisms may modify cancer risk. We investigated the possible association between CASP8 -652 6N ins/del (rs3834129) and the risk of breast cancer in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was done on 236 breast cancer patients and 203 cancer free healthy female. We designed a rapid and simple bi-directional...
