Abstract excerpt
The FAS, FAS ligand (FASL), and CASP8 are key regulators for apoptosis and their deregulations play an important role in carcinogenesis. However, the effects of promoter polymorphisms of the FAS, and FASL, and CASP8 genes on the survival of gastric cancer are unknown. In this study, we investigated the association of four polymorphisms (FAS -1377G>A, -670A>G, FASL -844C>T, and CASP8 -652 6N ins>del) with the...
