Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The transcription factor NRF2 plays a pivotal role in protecting normal cells from external toxic challenges and oxidative stress, whereas it can also endow cancer cells resistance to anticancer drugs.

We aimed to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NRF2 gene as a...
