Genetic variants in the ZNF208 gene are associated with esophageal cancer in a Chinese Han population

Abstract: Previous studies showed an association between the ZNF208 gene and gastric cancer. In this study, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ZNF208 and the risk of esophageal cancer in a Chinese Han population. We conducted a case-control study that included 386 cases and 495 controls. Five SNPs were selected from previous genome-wide association studies and genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. Unconditional logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratio… Show more

“…Wang et al found that SNPs (rs8103163 and rs7248488) were associated with an increased risk of esophageal cancer ( Li et al, 2017 ). Our results showed a consistent direction of risk; SNPs of rs8103163 and rs7248488 in ZNF208 increased risk of LC in the Northwestern Chinese Han male ( Wang et al, 2016 ).…”

“…PELO is a new HERsignaling regulator and was suggested to play a role in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis (39,40). ZNF208 is a member of the zinc finger family of proteins and its mutations were found in many cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer and laryngeal cancer (41)(42)(43). We discovered its prognostic significance for breast cancer in our investigation.…”
