Abstract

Objectives/Hypothesis:In previous studies, we have demonstrated that the T‐allele of a specific single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Gαs gene (T393C) correlates with increased Gαs expression and hence apoptosis. The T‐allele was associated with a favorable outcome in a variety of human cancers, for example, carcinoma of the urinary bladder, kidney, colorectal, oro‐ and hypopharynx.
