Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an endogenous oxidant enzyme that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and may be involved in lung carcinogenesis. The MPO-463G>A polymorphism influences MPO transcription and has been associated with lung cancer susceptibility. However, the association between the MPO-463G>A polymorphism and lung cancer risk remains controversial. METHOD: To investigate the effect of this...
