Abstract excerpt
P21-activated kinase 1(PAK1) plays an important role in the regulation of cell morphogenesis, motility, mitosis, and angiogenesis and has been implicated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression. We hypothesized that functional polymorphisms in PAK1 gene may modify the risk of lung cancer. We screened four potentially functional polymorphisms (rs2154754, rs3015993, rs7109645, and rs2844337) in PAK1 gene and...
