The 5p15.33 Locus Is Associated with Risk of Lung Adenocarcinoma in Never-Smoking Females in Asia

Chao A. Hsiung, +81 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: Results show that genetic variation in the CLPTM1L-TERT locus of chromosome 5p15.33 is directly associated with the risk of lung cancer, most notably adenocarcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joint analysis of three genome-wide association studies of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations

Chen Wu, +166 more
- 01 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: This joint analysis identifies new ESCC susceptibility loci overall as well as a new locus unique to the population in the Taihang Mountain region at high risk of ESCC, which is a synonymous SNP in TMEM173 and an intronic SNP in ATP1B2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotypic variants at 2q33 and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in China: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies

Christian C. Abnet, +169 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis found genome-wide significant SNPs at 2q33 that map to the CASP8/ALS2CR12/TRAK2 gene region and identified the strongest candidate was rs10201587, one of the genotyped SNPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathway-based evaluation of 380 candidate genes and lung cancer susceptibility suggests the importance of the cell cycle pathway

TL;DR: In this paper, a pathway-based candidate gene evaluation was conducted to identify genetic variations that may be associated with lung cancer in a population-based case-control study in Xuan Wei, China (122 cases and 111 controls).
