Duan, Bensong; Hu, Jiangfeng; Liu, Hongliang; Wang, Yanru; Li, Hongyu; Liu, Shun; Xie, Jichun; ... (12 authors) (International journal of cancer, 2018-04)

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays important roles in development and progression of human cancers. In our study, we aimed to identify genetic variants of the PDGF pathway genes associated ...

Potential Functional Variants in SMC2 and TP53 in the AURORA Pathway Genes and Risk of Pancreatic Cancer.

Feng, Yun; Liu, Hongliang; Duan, Bensong; Liu, Zhensheng; Abbruzzese, James; Walsh, Kyle M; Zhang, Xuefeng; ... (8 authors) (Carcinogenesis, 2019-02-22)

The AURORA pathway participates in mitosis and cell division, and alterations in mitosis and cell division can lead to carcinogenesis. Therefore, genetic variants in the AURORA pathway genes may be associated with susceptibility ...
