Lack of Association Between PDCD-1 Polymorphisms and Colorectal Cancer Risk: A Case-Control Study.

Abstract excerpt

Functional variants of immune-related genes may be implicated in the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, Programmed cell death (PDCD)-1.6 (rs10204525 T/C), PDCD-1.7 (rs7421861 A/G), and PDCD-1.9 (rs2227982 A/G) loci were selected to explore gene expression and the potential susceptibility to the development of CRC. Here, 1,003 CRC patients and 1,303 controls were included and three PDCD-1...
