Fas gene promoter -670 polymorphism (A/G) associated with carcinogenesis
September 15th, 2005
Fas gene promoter -670 polymorphism (A/G) was associated with cervical carcinogenesis. In a recent article published in the journal Gynecologic Oncology, scientists 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...
