Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have linked genetic variants at 9p21.3 to the risk of multiple cancers. However, the roles of genetic variants at 9p21.3 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) development are largely unknown. We evaluated the genetic variants at 9p21.3 reported in cancer genome-wide association studies with a case-control study including 2139 ESCC cases and 2273 controls in a Chinese...
