Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed the lung cancer susceptibility-associated non-coding SNP rs17728461 C/G. In this study, we demonstrated that rs17728461 is also associated with lung cancer outcome. The risk G allele increases the proliferative index and motility of cancer cells and promotes cancer metastasis in vivo in a xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, rs17728461-G establishes a...
