Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in 3' untranslated region (UTR) of cancer-related genes might affect regulation by microRNA (miRNA) and contribute to carcinogenesis. In this study, we screened several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3'UTR of cancer-related genes and investigated their effects on the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). First, we used SNaPshot assay to genotype seven 3'UTR SNPs in 537 ESCC...
