Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) plays crucial roles in carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal and gastric cancers. In the present study, we investigated association of GWAS identified rs2274223 A>G and. rs7922612 T>C polymorphism of PLCE1 with susceptibility to gallbladder cancer (GBC). METHODS: The study involved genotyping of selected PLCE1 variants in 416 GBC cases and 225...
