Association study of a functional copy number variation in the WWOX gene with risk of gliomas among Chinese people.

Abstract excerpt

Gliomas represents more than 80% of all malignant brain tumors. However, the etiology still remains largely unknown. Human WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), which is located at 16q23.1-16q23.2, the common fragile site 16D (FRA16D), an area with a high frequency of gene deletions or chromosomal alterations, has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in multiple cancers. In current study, we analyzed...
