Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of p53 codon 72 are thought to have significant effects on the metabolism of environmental carcinogens and thus on lung cancer risk, but the reported results are not always consistent. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between p53 codon 72 genetic polymorphisms and tobacco use and lung cancer risk in a Chinese population. A population-based control study was conducted...
