Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between polymorphism of the human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) and susceptibility of esophageal carcinoma (EC) in Kazakh and Han nationality in Xinjiang. METHODS: The 14 bp deletion/insertion (rs16375) and 0105N (rs41557518) of HLA-G genotyping were determined by PCR and PCR-RFLP, respectively in 239 patients and 467 controls. RESULTS: There was a 2.69-fold (P(c) = 0.04, 95%...
