Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of the amino acid transporter SLC7A7 is involved in multiple types of cancer including gliobastoma (GBM), the most malignant form of glioma. We hypothesized that SLC7A7 genetic variants may influence glioma risk. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a case-control study in 736 incident glioma cases and 793 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population by genotyping 22 common single nucleotide...
