Abstract:Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation found in individual’s DNA sequences. SNPs can occur in both coding and non-coding regions of the genome and can affect gene expression, protein function, and disease susceptibility. In this systematic review we evaluate the influence of SNPs as a biomarker in the assessment of oral mucositis (OM) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. The study selection process involved screening 66 articles from different platforms, and aft… Show more
