Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Urological cancers occur worldwide. Many factors, among which the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met polymorphism, are said to be associated with the cancer risk. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between urological cancer susceptibility and COMT Val158Met in different genetic models. METHODS: This study was based on material obtained from the PubMed, HuGENet and...
