Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a series of genetic variants associated with the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC)/Barrett's esophagus (BE), which was different from those loci for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). It is important to evaluate whether these susceptibility loci for EAC/BE are also implicated in ESCC development. In the current study, we analyzed genetic...
