Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the TYMS gene promoter, there is a repeat polymorphism (TSER) that affects the expression level of the thymidylate synthetase (TS) enzyme involved in the response to some anticancer drugs. The G>C transversion located in the TSER*3R allele decreases the expression level of the TS enzyme avoiding the upstream stimulatory factor (USF-1) binding site. Despite the biomedical impact of the SNP G>C, only...
