Molecular study of factors associated with thrombosis and correlation with inherited predisposition to oral cancer

Abstract

Introduction Carcinogenesis is a genetic disease at the cellular level. It is a case of irreversible loss of gene regulation, which controls growth and differentiation. This event is due to changes in DNA and the cancer cells show uncontrolled mitotic activity, which makes these cells to look more like immature cells rather than normal mature differentiated cell types, since they produce proteins found in embryonic cells. In every normal cell there is a normal level for protein production. Disruption of gene regulation and expression because of mutations or DNA polymorphisms may change the normal protein level. Like other types of cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is related to the coagulation system. Thromboembolism is one of the most frequent causes of death in patients with cancer. It is therefore clear that such complications occur as the cancer cells have participated in almost all factors of the haemostatic system. Given the above, in this dissertation mutat ...
