Genetic variations of the ADIPOQgene and risk of prostate cancer in Chinese Han men.
(Asian journal of andrology, 2014-11)
Adiponectin secreted by adipose tissue has been implicated in prostate carcinogenesis.
Genetic variations in ADIPOQ are thought to influence the activity of adiponectin,
thus relating to cancer occurrence. In this hospital-based ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the ERCC2 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2014-01)
ERCC2 is indispensable for nucleotide excision repair pathway, and its functional
polymorphisms may be associated with cancer risk. In a large case-control study of
1126 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) patients ...
Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.
(Scientific reports, 2015-01)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PI3K/PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
may contribute to carcinogenesis. We genotyped five potentially functional PIK3R1
and mTOR SNPs in 1116 esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) ...
Polymorphisms in the mTOR gene and risk of sporadic prostate cancer in an Eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: The mTOR gene regulates cell growth by controlling mRNA translation, ribosome
biogenesis, autophagy, and metabolism. Abnormally increased expression of mTOR was
associated with carcinogenesis, and its functional ...
Polymorphisms in the AKT1 and AKT2 genes and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk in an Eastern Chinese population.
(Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2016-04)
Ethnic Han Chinese are at high risk of developing oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
(ESCC). Aberrant activation of the AKT signalling pathway is involved in many cancers,
including ESCC. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Genetic variant rs4072037 of MUC1 and gastric cancer risk in an Eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-03)
Published data on the association between the MUC1 rs4072037A > G polymorphism and
gastric cancer (GCa) risk were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of
the association, we conducted a large GCa study of 1,124 ...
Potentially functional polymorphisms in the CASP7 gene contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
BACKGROUND: Caspase 7 (CASP7) is an important regulator and executioner in the apoptosis
pathway and plays a crucial role in cancer development and progression. However, few
studies have evaluated associations between functional ...
Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies Frequent Somatic Mutations in Cell-Cell Adhesion Genes in Chinese Patients with Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
(Scientific reports, 2015-10-27)
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) accounts for about 30% of all lung cancer cases.
Understanding of mutational landscape for this subtype of lung cancer in Chinese patients
is currently limited. We performed whole exome ...
Genetic variant of PRKAA1 and gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2015-12)
Published data on the association between PRKAA1 rs13361707 T > C polymorphism and
gastric cancer (GCa) susceptibility were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation
of the association, we conducted a large-scale ...
Polymorphisms in ERCC1 and XPF genes and risk of gastric cancer in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Inherited functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair
genes may alter DNA repair capacity and thus contribute to cancer risk. METHODS: Three
ERCC1 functional SNPs (rs2298881C>A, rs3212986C>A ...
