ABSTRACT: Background
Among the different types of cancer, pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is the most lethal malignancy, with poor early detection rates and prognosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential genetic effects of the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ABCB1 (rs1045642, rs3789243, rs4148737), APOB (rs693, rs1042031), CAV1 (rs12672038, rs1997623, rs3807987, rs7804372), and NAMPT (rs9034, rs2505568, rs61330082) on PDAC.Methods
A total of 273 patients with PDAC and 263 healthy controls were genotyped using PCR and direct Sanger sequencing. Unconditional logistic regression models were used to evaluate the potential effects of the genotypes, alleles, and haplotypes on the risk of developing PDAC.Result
