Cervical Carcinogenesis
Fas gene promoter-670 polymorphism associated with cervical carcinogenesis
September 1st, 2005
Fas gene promoter-670 polymorphism (A/G) has been associated with cervical carcinogenesis in a Japanese population. In a recent report, researchers in Japan conducted a study "to investigate the biological significance of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at Fas gene promoter in cervical carcinogenesis." "SNP at -670 of Fas gene promoter (A/G) together with human papillomavirus (HPV) types were examined in a total of 279 cervical smear samples and 8 human cervical squamous carcinoma cell lines using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) techniques. Forty-nine patients with high-grade squamous...
