Polymorphic variants of H-RAS protooncogene and their possible role in bladder cancer etiology.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionH-RAS gene is a protooncogene encoding p21ras, a small protein with GTPase activity. This protein is a component of many signaling cascades, while mutations in H-RAS gene are often found in urinary bladder cancer and leads to continuous transmission of signals stimulating cancer cell growth and proliferation. The T81C polymorphism of H-RAS gene is a SNP, which, although does not seem to impair p21ras protein structure and function, may contribute to the development of bladder cancer.
objectivesThe aim of our study was to characterize the prevalence and clinical significance of T81C polymorphism in patients with diagnosed bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND
methods132 patients with diagnosed urinary bladder cancer were included in this study. The control group consisted of 106 healthy individuals. The experimental material was DNA, isolated from tumor tissue and peripheral blood lymphocytes. T81C polymorphism was detected using the MSSCP method and DNA sequencing.
resultsIn the examined DNA samples, frequent polymorphic variations were found in codon 27 of H-RAS gene. In order to assess the clinical relevance of the polymorphism, the results were compared with those for the control group. The homozygous CC variant occurred more frequently in bladder cancer patients than in healthy individuals.
conclusionsDNA polymorphisms start to play an important role in evaluation of disease risk and progression. The occurrence of multiple variants of the same gene may contribute to differences in reactions to specific medications and sensitivity to carcinogens or DNA repair capacity. Our study demonstrated T81C polymorphism of H-RAS gene to have seemingly been associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer development.
