Özet

Aim: The cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2) protein participates in the DNA damage response in many cell types. Germline mutations in CHK2 (1100delC, IVS2 + 1G>A and I157T) have been associated with a range of cancer types. This study aimed to investigate whether CHK2 1100delC, IVS2 + 1G>A and I157T mutations play an important role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a Turkish population.
