Genetic variation in Transaldolase 1 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) is involved in the body’s protection against oxidative stress and resistance/susceptibility to apoptosis and thus has been implicated in tumor development and progression. Here we present data examining the association of genetic variation in one of the key enzymes of the PPP, Transaldolase 1 (TALDO1) with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
