Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The underlying genetic risk factors remain unclear. The association between gene growth hormone receptor (GHR) and phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1) polymorphisms and the EC risk were identified in this study. METHODS: A total of 506 EC cases and 507 controls were included in this research. Two SNPs (rs6898743 of GHR...
