Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To study the effect of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 gene haplotypes to susceptibility of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODOLOGY: A gender- and age-matched case-control design was used in this study. PCR-RFLP method was used to detect the genotype of CTLA4 in 205 patients and 205 control individuals in the Anyang area. Furthermore, haplotypes were calculated by PHASE2.1 software....
