Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing is an important biological step during mRNA processing. Misregulation of alternative splicing can produce aberrant protein isoforms, thus contributing to cancer. We hypothesized that variants in 5 critical splicing factor-associated genes might play an important role in carcinogenesis of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case-control study including 1,341 non-small cell lung...
