This is the first study evaluating the potential relationship between BCL2 and BAX gene polymorphisms and RRD in a Greek population, showing a significant association between BAX rs4645878 polymorphism and RRD susceptibility.
A case-control gene association study, as a part of Retina 4 project, was designed. rs2279115 and rs4645878 polymorphisms were analysed in 555 samples from patients with RRD (134 with PVR secondary to surgery).
This study investigated the association of BCL2-938C>A(rs2279115) and BAX-248G>A(rs4645878) promoter region SNPs and the clinical responses and outcomes of 235 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether polymorphisms of - 938C/A and Thr43Ala in the BCL-2 gene and G - 248A in the BAX gene are associated with the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
The V122A mutant was able to re-activate transactivation of various p53 tumor mutants and retained growth inhibition when co-expressed with dominant-negative tumor mutations.
