Article Synopsis
  • A genome-wide association study was conducted on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) involving 1,077 ESCC patients and 1,733 control subjects, focusing on the Chinese Han population.
  • The study successfully replicated findings in larger cohorts, identifying two new genetic risk factors for ESCC: PLCE1 and C20orf54, with strong statistical significance.
  • PLCE1 is linked to essential cellular functions like growth and apoptosis, while C20orf54 is involved in riboflavin transport, highlighting their potential roles in ESCC and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) risk.
