Abstract excerpt
Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor, which exists widely in the bone of children and adolescents. Protein kinase C gamma (PRKCG) gene, which encodes γPKC, plays important roles in tumor promotion, cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between PRKCG polymorphisms and the risk of osteosarcoma. Five tag single nucleotide...
