Genetic variation in MDM2 and p14ARF and susceptibility to salivary gland carcinoma.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
The p14(ARF)/MDM2/p53 pathway plays an important role in modulation of DNA damage
and oxidative stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether genetic
variants in MDM2 and p14(ARF) are associated with risk ...
Genome-wide association study identifies three new melanoma susceptibility loci.
(Nature genetics, 2011-10-09)
We report a genome-wide association study for melanoma that was conducted by the GenoMEL
Consortium. Our discovery phase included 2,981 individuals with melanoma and 1,982
study-specific control individuals of European ancestry, ...
A TGF-β1 genetic variant at the miRNA187 binding site significantly modifies risk of HPV16-associated oropharyngeal cancer.
(International journal of cancer, 2018-09)
TGF-β1rs1982073 polymorphism at the miRNA-187 binding site may alter TGF-β1 expression
and function, and thereby this polymorphism (genotype CT/CC) increases cancer susceptibility.
HPV16 L1 seropositivity is associated with ...
PSCA polymorphisms and gastric cancer susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-02)
The prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) gene, which encodes a prostate-specific antigen
(PSA), was identified as a gene involved in cell adhesion and proliferation. The associations
between the PSCA rs2294008 and rs2976392 ...
Functional polymorphisms of CHRNA3 predict risks of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer in Chinese.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
Recently, several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many susceptible
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and lung cancer which are two closely related ...
Pre-miRNA variants as predictors of clinical outcome in patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the nonoropharynx.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
Functional polymorphisms of miRNAs may affect the function and target expression of
miRNAs, which can, in turn, affect the biological activity, etiology, and prognosis
of cancer. We hypothesized that four common polymorphisms ...
Associations of genotypes and haplotypes of IL-17 with risk of gastric cancer in an eastern Chinese population.
(Oncotarget, 2016-12)
Interleukin-17 plays a crucial role in inflammation-related carcinogenesis. We hypothesize
that genetic variants in IL-17 are associated with gastric cancer (GCa) risk, and
we genotyped five potentially functional single ...
Potentially functional variants of PLCE1 identified by GWASs contribute to gastric adenocarcinoma susceptibility in an eastern Chinese population.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found a single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP, rs2274223 A>G) in PLCE1 to be associated with risk of gastric adenocarcinoma.
In the present study, we validated ...
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 polymorphism and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a Chinese population: a case-control study.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been reported to be associated with autoimmune
and pro-inflammatory response, and genetic polymorphisms of candidate genes involved
in autoimmune and pro-inflammatory response ...
Genetic variants of GADD45A, GADD45B and MAPK14 predict platinum-based chemotherapy-induced toxicities in Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
(Oncotarget, 2016-05)
The JNK and P38α pathways play a crucial role in tissue homeostasis, apoptosis and
autophagy under genotoxic stresses, but it is unclear whether single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) of genes in these pathways play a role ...
