Abstract excerpt
The L-plastin gene is involved in the invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying L-plastin transcription are unclear. We hypothesize that the occurrence of polymorphic genetic variations in the L-plastin promoter might affect an individual's susceptibility to prostate cancer. In this study, we identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -1,687 in the...
