Gene context of Urinary Bladder Neoplasms

  • The best predictors of bladder cancer included the XPD codon 751 and 312 SNPs along with smoking [1].
  • Ever smokers with the MMP12 G allele also had an increased risk of bladder cancer invasiveness (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.30-4.12) [2].
  • An SNP polymorphism in the non-protein-encoding H19 gene is associated with a decreased risk of developing non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer [3].
