Abstract excerpt
hMLH1 is a member of mismatch repair genes (MMR) that plays a crucial role in correcting replication errors, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and oxidative stress. We explored the risk associated with hMLH1 -93 A>G (rs 1800734) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Asian Indians. We genotyped 242 patients with tobacco-related OSCC and 205 healthy controls by polymerase...
