Abstract excerpt
AIM: The purpose of this study was to assess if the P21 nt590 polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to nasopharyngeal cancer and with the age at diagnosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed the frequency of 3'UTR P21 polymorphisms in blood samples from 102 nasopharyngeal cancer patients and 191 controls, with no known oncologic disease, using PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: The polymorphism genotype frequencies...
