Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the association of common genetic variants related to vitamin D metabolism and signaling to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS: We evaluated the association between 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four genes related to vitamin D levels and ESCC risk using data from a genome-wide association study. Participants were recruited from the Shanxi Upper...
