Microsatellite GTn‐repeat polymorphism in the promoter of heme oxygenase‐1 gene is an independent predictor of tumor recurrence in male oral squamous cell carcinoma patients

Abstract

Presence of S allele was associated with a lower TR rate and better relapse-free survival in OSCC patients. HMOX-1 promoter polymorphism might be considered as a potential prognostic marker in OSCC patients.
