Genetic variants at 4q21, 4q23 and 12q24 are associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk in a Chinese population
AssociationN=4,412Yong Gao et al.(2013)· Human Genetics

A case-control study of 2,139 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases and 2,273 controls in a Chinese population examined six SNPs previously associated with upper aerodigestive tract cancers in Europeans. Four SNPs showed significant association with ESCC risk: rs1494961 at 4q21 (OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.05-1.26), rs1229984 in ADH1B at 4q23 (OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.13-1.36), rs1789924 near ADH1C at 4q23 (OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.03-1.39), and rs671 in ALDH2 at 12q24 (OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.75-0.91). Combined analysis showed significant allele-dosage effects with individuals carrying 5+ risk alleles having 1.76-fold increased ESCC risk.

About PDE4D

This gene encodes one of four mammalian counterparts to the fruit fly 'dunce' gene. The encoded protein has 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity and degrades cAMP, which acts as a signal transduction molecule in multiple cell types. This gene uses different promoters to generate multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode functional proteins.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
