Is a genetic variant in the promoter of APE1 gene ( -656 T > G ) associated with breast cancer risk and progression in a Chinese population?
Our results suggest that the APE1 -656T>G but not the 1349T>G polymorphism may influence the susceptibility and progression of breast cancer in the Chinese population. Large population-based prospective studies are required to validate these findings.
Elevated serum β2-GPI-LDL levels may be a serological hallmark of enhanced LDL oxidation in vivo and closely associated with the presence of diabetic microvascular complications.
