Abstract excerpt
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is an immunoinhibitory receptor belonging to the CD28 family. This study was designed to investigate the association of PD-1 rs36084323:A>G, rs2227981:C>T, rs2227982:C>T and rs10204525:A>G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the risk and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a high-incidence population from Northern China. These four SNPs were genotyped by...
