Influences of two significant variants located in the ST6GAL1 3′-untranslated region on lung carcinoma susceptibility in the Chinese Han population

The aim of this study was to identify the associations of the ST6GAL1 gene 3′-untranslated region polymorphisms with lung carcinoma risk in a Chinese Han population. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs1042757, rs2284749, and rs2239611) in ST6GAL1 were genotyped in 322 lung carcinoma patients and 384 healthy controls. The relationships between these variants and lung cancer risk were examined by logistic regression analysis....
