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.

Guan, Xiaoxiang; Wang, Li-E; Liu, Zhensheng; Sturgis, Erich M; Wei, Qingyi (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 ...

Hospital distance, socioeconomic status, and timely treatment of ischemic stroke.

Ader, Jeremy; Wu, Jingjing; Fonarow, Gregg C; Smith, Eric E; Shah, Shreyansh; Xian, Ying; Bhatt, Deepak L; ... (11 authors) (Neurology, 2019-08)
