title: Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the L-myc gene is not a prognostic factor in bladder cancer patients.
abstract: The L-myc restriction fragment length polymorphism has been suggested to be of prognostic significance in some types of primary tumours. We examined the prognostic and susceptibility significance of the L-myc genotype in a group of 98 bladder cancer patients. The L-myc genotype did not correlate with any pathologic parameter and does not offer any clinical utility in patients with bladder cancer.
