Abstract excerpt
As a tumor suppressor, breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) plays a pivotal role in maintaining genomic stability. A functional rs799917 T>C polymorphism located in the BRCA1 coding sequence could influence miR-638-mediated regulation of BRCA1 expression. Therefore, we examined the association between this polymorphism and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk as well as its biological function....
