Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at locus 11q23.3 (rs498872) in the near 5'-UTR of the PHLDB1 gene was recently implicated as a risk factor for gliomas in a genome-wide association study, and this involvement was confirmed in three additional studies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To identify possible causal variants in the region, the authors genotyped 15 tagging SNPs in the 200 kb genomic...
