Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: p73 is a tumor suppressor gene. The two polymorphisms in the non-coding region of the exon 2 of p73 gene, named G4C14-A4T14, can form a stem-loop structure, and may influence p73 expression. This study was to investigate the correlation of p73 G4C14-A4T14 polymorphisms to susceptibilities to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA) in a high...
