Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CD44 gene, specifically in the 3'UTR region (rs13347) and intronic region (rs187115), on the cell surface expression of CD44 protein and the risk of development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved analysis of 85 samples and 85 healthy controls....
