PURPOSE Heat-shock protein 27 (Hsp27), encoded by HSPB1, plays crucial roles in tumorigenesis and cell survival and is reported to be an independent prognosis marker for cancer. We hypothesized that genetic variants of the HSPB1 gene may be associated with lung cancer susceptibility and survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS We first resequenced the full-length HSPB1 gene and then genotyped three selected tag single...
