Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: CHD5 is a conventional tumour-suppressing gene in many tumours. The aim of this study was to determine whether CHD5 variants contribute to the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Gene variants were identified using next-generation sequencing targeted on referenced mutations followed by TaqMan genotyping in two case-control studies. RESULTS: We discovered a rare variant (haplotype AG) in...
