Abstract excerpt
Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein‑ coupled receptor that senses blood calcium. In vivo, CaSR is required for normal epidermal differentiation by mediating calcium signaling. CaSR was confirmed to be a tumor suppressor in colon and breast cancer. The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17251221, located on the intron, is a genetic variation of the CaSR gene. We analyzed rs17251221 in ovarian cancer...
