APOB Genotypes and CDH13 Haplotypes in the Cholesterol-Related Pathway Genes Predict Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Survival

Background: Several oncogenic signals are involved in the synthesis, metabolism, transportation, and modulation of cholesterol. However, the roles of genetic variants of the cholesterol pathway genes in cancer survival remain unclear. Methods: We investigated associations between 26,781 common SNPs in 209 genes of the cholesterol pathway and non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival by utilizing genotyping data from two published genome-wide...
