Abstract excerpt
Functional SNPs in the COX-2 promoter region have been associated with susceptibility to esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, we investigated SNPs in the COX-2 coding region and their impact on risk of ESCC. The coding region of COX-2 in DNAs from 30 Han Chinese individuals was sequenced to identify SNPs. Different coding region variants identified were cloned and expressed in MCE-7 cells for...
