Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the roles of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in the pathogenesis of carcinogenesis, we propose that RAGE polymorphisms may be associated with risk of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). METHOD: This case-control study included 190 women over 40 years of age who were diagnosed with primary EOC and 210 healthy control subjects. RAGE gene polymorphisms, including...
