Abstract excerpt
Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in the development and progression of some tumors. The polymorphisms of OPN probably change its expression and contribute to interindividual differences of susceptibility to some cancers. The purpose of the present study was to explore the association of rs9138 (+1239; 3'UTR: 3'untranslated regions) and rs1126616 (+750; exon 7) polymorphisms located in the OPN gene with...
