Correlations of ALDH2 rs671 and C12orf30 rs4767364 polymorphisms with increased risk and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the Kazak and Han populations in Xinjiang province.

ABSTRACT: Genetic polymorphisms in ALDH2 and C12orf30 genes have been reported to increase the risk of developing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aims to investigate the relationship between ALDH2 rs671 and c12orf30 rs4767364 polymorphisms in the chromosome 12q24 gene, and risk and prognosis of individuals developing esophageal cancer (ESCC) in Xinjiang Kazak and Han populations. The case group consisted of 127 ESCC patients. The control group comprised of 125 healthy individuals. Subjects that were recruited all come from Xinjiang province. TaqMan and the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were the main methods employed to detect and examine the distribution of genotypes of rs671 and rs4767364. The genotype frequencies of ALDH2 rs671 between the Kazak case and control groups were stat
