Abstract excerpt
Thioredoxin domain-containing protein-5 (TXNDC5) has been found to be associated with cancer development and growth. We investigated whether TXNDC5 gene polymorphisms are associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a Korean male population. Seven SNPs were selected based on minor allelic frequency (≥5%). The SNPs consisted of three exonic SNPs (rs8643, rs7764128 and rs1043784) and four intronic SNPs...
