Association Aamong Ppolymorphisms in the Aapoptosis-Rrelated NKX3-1, Caspase-3, Caspase-9, and BCL-2 Genes and Prostate Cancer Susceptibility From 9706 Cases and 12,567 Controls.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While there is a growing volume of evidence suggesting that relatively prevalent functional polymorphisms present within apoptosis-related genes may influence human prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility, the clinical relevance of these findings remains inconclusive. AIMS: This meta-analysis was thus developed with the goal of generating more precise estimates of the relationships between polymorphisms...
