Lack of association between Bax promoter (-248G>A) single nucleotide polymorphism and susceptibility towards cancer: evidence from a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: The Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) is a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family known to be activated and upregulated during apoptosis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Bax promoter may participate in the process of carcinogenesis by altering its own expression and the cancer...
