Genetic polymorphisms in the oxidative stress pathway and susceptibility to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

abstract：:Three common alleles, epsilon2, epsilon3, and epsilon4, of the gene coding for apolipoprotein E (apoE) have been identified as predictors of interindividual variation in measures of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, and ultimately risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), within many populations. Here we evaluated the uti...
