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 ...
Functional variant of MTOR rs2536 and survival of Chinese gastric cancer patients.
(International journal of cancer, 2019-01)
We previously reported that some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of candidate
genes involved in the MTOR complex1 (MTORC1) were associated with risk of gastric
cancer (GCa). In the present study, we further evaluated ...
RAD52 variants predict platinum resistance and prognosis of cervical cancer.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
RAD52 is an important but not well characterized homologous recombination repair gene
that can bind to single-stranded DNA ends and mediate the DNA-DNA interaction necessary
for the annealing of complementary DNA strands. ...
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 ...
MicroRNA variants increase the risk of HPV-associated squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx in never smokers.
(PloS one, 2013-01)
Both microRNAs and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection play an important role in
the development and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In addition,
microRNAs affect all facets of the immune/inflammation ...
Associations of potentially functional variants in IL-6, JAKs and STAT3 with gastric cancer risk in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
The interleukin-6 (IL-6)/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway plays a central role in inflammation-mediated
cancers, including gastric cancer (GCa). We evaluated associations between 10 potentially
functional single nucleotide ...
Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes and risk of primary prostate cancer in Chinese Han populations.
(Oncotarget, 2017-04)
Genetic variants of nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes have been extensively investigated
for their roles in the development of prostate cancer (PCa); however, the published
results have been inconsistent. In a hospital-based ...
Genetic variants in RORA and DNMT1 associated with cutaneous melanoma survival.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-06)
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is considered as a steroid hormone-related malignancy. However,
few studies have evaluated the roles of genetic variants encoding steroid hormone
receptor genes and their related regulators (SHR-related ...
Significance of microRNA-related variants in susceptibility to recurrence of oropharyngeal cancer patients after definitive radiotherapy.
(Oncotarget, 2016-06)
Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs may affect miRNA functions
and their target expression and thus may affect biological activities and cancer etiology
as well as prognosis. Thus, we determined whether ...
Association of tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter variants with risk of HPV-associated oral squamous cell carcinoma.
(Molecular cancer, 2013-07-19)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in inflammation, immunity,
and defense against infection and clearance of human papillomavirus (HPV). Thus, genetic
variants may modulate individual susceptibility ...
