Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Tumorigenesis is a multistep process that begins with the abrogation of normal controls of apoptosis and cell proliferation, and the Fas receptor-ligand system is a key regulator of apoptosis. The Fas -670 A/G single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been demonstrated to affect the expression of the Fas gene by altering the transcriptional activity in this gene's promoter. However, the association...
