Abstract excerpt

The Val158Met polymorphism in the COMT gene may affect the DNA repair pathways and be associated with the risk of cancer in Chinese population. However, the results of previous studies are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between the Val158Met polymorphism in the COMT gene and the risk of cancer for Chinese population by meta-analysis. We searched PubMed, Embase, CNKI,...
