Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of caveolin-1 (CAV1) genetic variants (C239A (rs1997623), G14713A (rs3807987), G21985A (rs12672038), T29107A (rs7804372)) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) susceptibility. METHODS: A total of 427 patients with ESCC and 427 healthy controls were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method....
