Abstract excerpt
S100 proteins have been implicated in various human diseases, including certain types of cancer. Among them, S100A14 is down-regulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this study, we sought to identify functional genetic variants in the S100A14 locus and assessed their associations with susceptibility to ESCC. Thirty individual DNA samples were sequenced to search for genetic variations in...
