Abstract excerpt
Tobacco smoke is a major risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), yet only a subset of smokers develop this disease, implicating gene-smoking interactions in modulating individual susceptibility. Through integrative transcriptomic analyses of normal and tumor samples from smokers and nonsmokers, we identify four smoke-responsive genes (CXCL14, HORMAD1, WFDC5, and MPZ) as potential contributors...
