Genetic variants of AICDA/CASP14 associated with childhood brain tumor
“Genetic variants of AICDA/CASP14 associated with childhood brain tumor”, vol. 12, pp. 2024-2031, 2013.
, We conducted a hospital-based case-control study in Korea to investigate whether apoptosis- and cell cycle control-related genes are associated with childhood brain tumor. Incident brain tumor cases (N = 70) and non-cancer controls (N = 140), frequency-matched by age and gender, were selected from 3 teaching hospitals in Seoul between 2003 and 2006. Tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (N = 297) in 30 genes related to apoptosis and cell cycle control were selected using a pairwise linkage-disequilibrium-based algorithm.
