Distribution of EGFR SNPs -191C/A and 181946G/A in patients with lung cancer depending on smoking status in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients younger than 64 years and carriers of -191CC genotype have significantly higher risk for adenocarcinoma than carriers of -191CA or -191AA genotype. Further studies on larger cohorts are necessary to evaluate -191C/A SNP as a potential biomarker.
