Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a genetic variation that occurs when a
single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence varies between individuals and is present in at …

Recent genome-wide association studies have reported a FAM13A variant on chromosome
4q22. 1 is associated with lung function and COPD. We examined this variant in a case …

FAM13A is associated with aging lung disease (primarily chronic obstructive pulmonary
disorder and pulmonary fibrosis) and shows stable expression throughout lung …

Background Oral cancer has a high incidence primarily because of tobacco chewing habits.
However, a small proportion of habitués develop oral cancer, implying a role for genomic …

Background A large number of meta‐analyses and pooled analyses have been published
on the topic of the genetic variants for oral cancer, and many positive results have been …

Background: Although head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common
malignancy, the molecular biology landscape underlying its occurrence and development …

A number of genetic variants were suggested to be associated with oral malignancy, few
