Abstract excerpt
A short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphism in the 3'UTR region of esophageal cancer-related gene 2 (ECRG2, also known as SPINK7) has been widely reported to be associated with the incidence and the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study explores how the microRNA binding to the STR region affects ECRG2 expression in ESCC. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were used to verify the effects of...
