Abstract excerpt
To explore the etiologic role of apoptosis-related genes, environmental risk factors, and their interaction in the occurrence of lumbar disk herniation (LDH), a controlled case study was performed with 128 LDH patients and 132 age- and sex-matched controls. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry assay was used to analyze the genotype of nine polymorphism sites in three...
