Abstract excerpt
As a well-known oncogene, B cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) can promote cancer cell survival through preventing their apoptosis. Several functional BCL-2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), such as rs2279115, rs1801018, and rs1564483, have been identified and might contribute to cancer susceptibility. However, the involvement of these SNPs in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was still unclear. As a result, we...
