Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In vitro studies have demonstrated the role of the BCL-2 family of genes in endometrial carcinogenesis. The role of genetic variants in BCL-2 genes and their interactions with non-genetic factors in the development of endometrial cancer has not been investigated in epidemiological studies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We examined the relationship between BCL-2 gene family variants and endometrial cancer risk...
