Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Short leukocyte telomere length has been associated with significantly increased risk of esophageal carcinoma. A previous genome-wide association study demonstrated that ACYP2 was associated with leukocyte telomere length. However, the role of ACYP2 genetic variants on esophageal carcinoma susceptibility is still unknown. Therefore, we investigated whether ACYP2 polymorphisms have impact on the risk...
