Associations of PI3KR1 and mTOR polymorphisms with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk and gene-environment interactions in Eastern Chinese populations.

Zhu, Jinhong; Wang, Mengyun; Zhu, Meiling; He, Jin; Wang, Jiu-Cun; Jin, Li; Wang, Xiao-Feng; ... (9 authors) (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 at the microRNA binding-site of the stem cell marker gene CD133 modify susceptibility to and survival of gastric cancer.

Wang, Qiming; Liu, Hongliang; Xiong, Huihua; Liu, Zhensheng; Wang, Li-E; Qian, Ji; Muddasani, Ramya; ... (11 authors) (Mol Carcinog, 2015-06)

CD133 is one of the most common stem cell markers, and functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CD133 may modulate its gene functions and thus cancer risk and patient survival. We hypothesized that potentially ...

Polymorphisms in the kinesin-like factor 1 B gene and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in Eastern Chinese women.

Shi, Ting-Yan; Jiang, Zhi; Jiang, Rong; Yin, Sheng; Wang, Meng-Yun; Yu, Ke-Da; Shao, Zhi-Ming; ... (10 authors) (Tumour Biol, 2015-09)

The kinesin-like factor 1 B (KIF1B) gene plays an important role in the process of apoptosis and the transformation and progression of malignant cells. Genetic variations in KIF1B may contribute to risk of epithelial ovarian ...

Integrated pathway and epistasis analysis reveals interactive effect of genetic variants at TERF1 and AFAP1L2 loci on melanoma risk.

Brossard, Myriam; Fang, Shenying; Vaysse, Amaury; Wei, Qingyi; Chen, Wei V; Mohamdi, Hamida; Maubec, Eve; ... (14 authors) (Int J Cancer, 2015-10-15)

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have characterized 13 loci associated with melanoma, which only account for a small part of melanoma risk. To identify new genes with too small an effect to be detected individually ...

Association of Common Genetic Polymorphisms with Melanoma Patient IL-12p40 Blood Levels, Risk, and Outcomes.

Fang, Shenying; Wang, Yuling; Chun, Yun S; Liu, Huey; Ross, Merrick I; Gershenwald, Jeffrey E; Cormier, Janice N; ... (18 authors) (J Invest Dermatol, 2015-09)

Recent investigation has identified association of IL-12p40 blood levels with melanoma recurrence and patient survival. No studies have investigated associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with melanoma patient ...

CASP7 variants modify susceptibility to cervical cancer in Chinese women.

Shi, Ting-Yan; He, Jing; Wang, Meng-Yun; Zhu, Mei-Ling; Yu, Ke-Da; Shao, Zhi-Ming; Sun, Meng-Hong; ... (10 authors) (Scientific reports, 2015-01)

Polymorphisms in Caspase-7 (CASP7) may modulate the programmed cell death and thus contribute to cervical cancer risk. In this case-control study of 1,486 cervical cancer cases and 1,301 controls, we investigated associations ...
