Abstract excerpt
The genetic polymorphisms in E-cadherin gene (CDH1) may affect invasive/metastatic disease development by altering gene transcriptional activity. In this paper, we investigated the effect of 3'-UTR +54C/T polymorphism (rs1801026) in CDH1 gene on the risk and progression of several common cancers. Multiple completely independent case-control analyses of 1081 cancer patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma...
