Identification of genes with allelic imbalance on 6p associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in southern Chinese.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy of epithelial origin. The etiology of NPC is complex and includes multiple genetic and environmental factors. We employed case-control analysis to study the association of chromosome 6p regions with NPC. In total, 360 subjects and 360 healthy controls w...
