GT-Repeat Polymorphism in the HO-1 Gene Promoter Is Associated with Risk of Liver Cancer: A Follow-Up Study from Arseniasis-Endemic Areas in Taiwan
The induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been shown to have therapeutic potential in experimental models of hepatitis and liver fibrosis, which are closely related to liver cancer. In humans, HO-1 induction is transcriptionally modulated by the length of a GT-repeat [(GT)n] in the promoter regio...
