Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The genetic polymorphism (rs16969968 in CHRNA5, and rs1051730 in CHRNA3 genes) were recently shown to be associated with risk of LC. The aim of this study is to elucidate whether they predispose Palestinian individuals to lung cancer, and how is this related to smoking. RESULTS: Frequency of the rs16969968-A allele was significantly higher in the case group (36.7%) than in normal controls (17.5%;...
