Association study of the polymorphisms rs2228611 of the gene and rs1569686 of the gene with bladder cancer development in a sample of the Algerian population.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a multifactorial disease with a poorly understood main cause. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the polymorphisms rs2228611 of the DNMT1 gene and rs1569686 of the DNMT3B gene on the susceptibility to develop Bladder Cancer in the Algerian population. A case-control study design was adopted, with DNA samples of 114 BC patients and 123 healthy controls.
