Association between novel PLCE1 variants identified in published esophageal cancer genome-wide association studies and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Liu, Zhensheng; Wei, Qingyi; Ma, Hongxia; Wang, Li-E; Sturgis, Erich M (BMC cancer, 2011-06-20)

Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) (an effector of Ras) belonging to the phospholipase family plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of several cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ...

Genetic variants of NOXA and MCL1 modify the risk of HPV16-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Liu, Zhensheng; Wei, Qingyi; Zhou, Ziyuan; Sturgis, Erich M; Wang, Li-E; Li, Guojun (BMC cancer, 2012-05)

The cooperation between phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced protein 1 (NOXA) and myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is critical in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16), by inducing p53 and pRb-E2F ...

Association between a rare novel TP53 variant (rs78378222) and melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and lung cancer susceptibility in non-Hispanic Whites.

Wei, Qingyi; Liu, Zhensheng; Guan, Xiaoxiang; Wang, Li-E; Sturgis, Erich M (Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2013-07)

Recently, several studies have investigated the association between a newly reported rare functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TP53 (rs78378222) and cancer risk, but generated inconsistent findings. The present ...

A genome-wide association study of upper aerodigestive tract cancers conducted within the INHANCE consortium.

Wei, Qingyi; McKay, James D; Truong, Therese; Gaborieau, Valerie; Chabrier, Amelie; Chuang, Shu-Chun; Byrnes, Graham; ... (129 authors) (PLoS genetics, 2011-03-17)

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying common genetic variation involved in susceptibility to etiologically complex disease. We conducted a GWAS to identify common genetic variation involved ...
