## Abstract The __HRAS1__ variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism, 1 kb downstream from the __HRAS1__ gene, has been reported to be associated with risk of various cancers. To examine whether individuals with rare __HRAS1__ VNTR alleles are at increased risk of bladder cancer we carri

## Abstract The __E‐cadherin__ (__CDH1__) gene has been associated with prostate carcinogenesis. The C/A polymorphism −160 base pairs relative to the transcription start site has been shown to decrease gene transcription. We analyzed the association between this polymorphism and the risk of sporadi
E-cadherin plays a major role in intercellular adhesion, cell polarity and tissue architecture. We determined the relative risk of PCa associated with a previously reported C/A SNP at -160 bp relative to the transcription-start site of the E-cadherin gene promoter. Eighty-two PCa patients and 188 co
Two studies on breast cancer patients are described. Our aim was to examine whether the combined frequency of rare c-Ha-ras-l alleles in cancer patients was raised. Firstly, the c-Ha-ras-l locus in 56 breast cancer patients and 48 controls was examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (R
## Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. Although exposure to carcinogens is considered to be the main cause, genetic variation may contribute to lung cancer risk. Murine double minute 2, MDM2, is a key regulator of p53 activity and recently a polymorphism in t
