Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis and tumor suppression prevent cell proliferation in response to genomic damage. Polymorphisms in genes involved in these pathways can alter their function, facilitating the onset of cancer. Detecting these polymorphisms would assess the individual risk of developing different types of cancer. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to analyze the association between a set of genetic polymorphisms...
