abstract- Gynecologic Oncology : Polymorphisms in the CASP8 gene and the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer



Research highlights

► Three variants in CASP8 gene decreased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
► A reduced risk of EOC was significantly associated with the del-C-T haplotype of those 3 SNPs.
► A notable later age at onset of EOC was associated with rs3834129 of CASP8 gene.
