Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the displacement loop (D-loop) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may be associated with an increased cancer risk. We investigated the malignant melanoma (MM) risk profile of D-loop SNPs in a case-controlled study in Chinese Han population. A statistically significant increase in SNP frequency for the T16362C, A16399G and T195C alleles was observed in MM...
