Correlation of variable repeat number in the neck regions of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR with susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a Chinese population

摘要

ObjectiveTo evaluate the potential association of variations in the number of tandem repeats in the dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) and dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing nonintegrin-related (DC-SIGNR) neck region with susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
