Abstract excerpt
Metabolic reprogramming has been regarded as one of the core hallmarks of cancer and increased de novo fatty acid synthesis has been documented in multiple tumors including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Our previous exome-wide analyses found a Val1937Ile variant (rs17848945) in the 34th exon of fatty acid synthase (FASN) that showed a strong association with the risk of ESCC. In this study, we...
