Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) gene are likely to affect the function of BTLA protein. METHODS: In the present case-control study, we selected BTLA tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs16859629 T>C, rs1982809 G>A, rs2171513 G>A and rs3112270 A>G) and conducted a case-control study to identify the association of BTLA SNPs with risk of esophagogastric junction...
