Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) exerts anti-proliferative or pro-apoptotic effects through IGF-dependent as well as IGF-independent mechanisms in vitro. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between genetic variants in IGFBP-3 (rs2270628) and the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a Chinese Han population. Five hundred ESCC cases and 500 cancer-free...
