Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alteration in cell-cycle control and apoptosis pathways play important roles in tumorigenesis. Caspase-8 (CASP8) is a member of the cysteine protease family, that is implicated in apoptosis regulation. The present study was designed to investigate the possible role of CASP8 D302H gene polymorphism in the tumor development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 91 patients with brain tumors (including 39...
