Abstract:
Wilms' tumor is one of the most common solid tumors of childhood; however, the genetic basis underlying the majority of cases remains largely unknown. HACE1 is a putative Wilms' tumor susceptibility gene. We investigated the association between five HACE1 gene polymorphisms and Wilms' tumor susceptibility in a Chinese population consisting of 145 patients and 531 controls. We found a significant association between HACE1 rs9404576 polymorphism and decreased Wilms' tumor risk. No significant association was detected for other polymorphisms in the overall analysis. Our results indicated that HACE1 rs9404576 polymorphism may be associated with Wilms' tumor susceptibility in the Chinese population.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
