Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CD133 with the risk of lung cancer. METHODS: We conducted a hospital-based, case-control study of 1017 lung cancer patients and 1035 cancer-free controls frequency-matched by age and sex. Four functional CD133 SNPs (rs2240688 A > C, rs10022537 T > A, rs7686732 C > G, and rs3130 C > T) were selected and genotyped....
