Association of functional polymorphisms of SLC11A1 with risk of esophageal cancer in the South African Colored population.

Cancer genetics and cytogenetics - 1 May 2005

Abstract excerpt

Several environmental factors have been implicated in the etiology of esophageal cancer (EC). The purpose of this study was to assess the likelihood that variation in the SLC11A1 gene contributes to EC susceptibility, possibly due to its role in inflammation and iron metabolism. The regions of the gene containing potential functional polymorphisms, including the promoter region and exon 2, were investigated. The...
