Association between the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism and liver cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis and meta-regression.

Genetics and molecular research : GMR - 7 Oct 2014

Li Y L, Tian Z, Zhao L, Zhang C L

Abstract excerpt

Emerging evidence suggests that a common functional polymorphism, rs4444903 (A>G), in the EGF gene might impact an individual's susceptibility to liver cancer; however, individually published results are inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between the EGF rs4444903 polymorphism and liver cancer risk. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed,...
