Genetic variants in apoptosis-related genes associated with colorectal hyperplasia.

Abstract excerpt

Deregulation of apoptosis is a frequent alteration in early benign lesions of the colon mucosa and is thought to be a major contributor to tumor progression and cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within apoptosis-related genes could affect apoptotic responses and their identification might provide a basis to assess individual risk for development of early lesions. To investigate a possible association...
