Abstract excerpt
Diffuse gliomas are the most common malignant primary brain tumors and remain incurable. A better knowledge of the tumor etiology is required. Specific single nucleotides polymorphisms (SNPs) rs4977756 (CDKN2A/B), rs6010620 (RTEL1), rs498872 (PHLDB1), rs2736100 (TERT), and rs4295627 (CCDC26) have been associated with glioma susceptibility and are potential risk biomarkers. This study aimed to analyze five SNPs...
