Intronic polymorphisms in genes LRFN2 (rs2494938) and DNAH11 (rs2285947) are prognostic indicators of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genome wide association study (GWAS) has become the major means to screen for the genetic variants associated with risk and prognosis of different diseases. A recent GWAS has discovered three novel intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes LRFN2 (rs2494938), DNAH11 (rs2285947) and PLCXD2 (rs2399395) that are associated with altered risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) among Han Chinese populations. However, the prognostic significance of these variations in ESCC remains unclear.

Methods

To investigate the association of three novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs2494938, rs2285947, rs2399395) with the prognosis of ESCC patients, we recruited 287 ESCC patients treated with surgical resection and evaluated the potential significance of the t
