Evidence that the genetic polymorphism rs1412115 on chromosome 10 is associated with risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

A genome-wide association study on schizophrenia in Jewish population discovered a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs1412115, on chromosome 10. It has been proved that neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) gene located on chromosome 10, tightly close to rs1412115, is associated with increased risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In the present study, we hypothesized that SNP rs1412115:A>G is associated with...
