Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Proapoptotic protein Bcl-2-like 11 (BIM) is a crucial tumor suppressor gene in lung cancer development. A 2903-bp genomic deletion polymorphism is present in BIM intron 2, which alters RNA splicing and impairs the generation of the death-inducing isoform of BIM and resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In the present study, we investigated the...
