Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCε1) may regulate cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis and play an important role in carcinogenesis and the progression of several cancers. This study was designed to validate the association of the PLCε1 rs2274223 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as identified by genome-wide association...
