Polymorphisms in the kinesin-like factor 1 B gene and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in Eastern Chinese women.
(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 ...
Association between novel PLCE1 variants identified in published esophageal cancer genome-wide association studies and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
(BMC cancer, 2011-06-20)
Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) (an effector of Ras) belonging to the phospholipase
family plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of several cancers, including
squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
The VEGF -634G>C promoter polymorphism is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
(BMC gastroenterology, 2009-10-16)
Both TGF-beta1 and VEGF play a critic role in the multiple-step process of tumorgenesis
of gastric cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TGFB1 and VEGF genes
have been associated with risk and progression ...
Polymorphisms of nucleotide excision repair genes predict melanoma survival.
(The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2013-07)
Melanoma is the most highly malignant skin cancer, and nucleotide excision repair
(NER) is involved in melanoma susceptibility. In this analysis of 1,042 melanoma patients,
we evaluated whether genetic variants of NER genes ...
Genotypes and haplotypes of the VEGF gene and survival in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy.
(BMC cancer, 2010-08-16)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major mediator of angiogenesis involving
in carcinogenesis, including lung cancer. We hypothesized that VEGF polymorphisms
may affect survival outcomes among locally advanced ...
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 ...
