Collectively, our study provides summary evidence that common variants in the VTI1A and TCF7L2 genes are associated with risk of breast, colorectal, lung cancer and glioma and highlights the significant role of the VTI1A-TCF7L2 region in the pathogenesis of human cancers.
Genome-wide association study of glioma subtypes identifies specific differences in genetic susceptibility to glioblastoma and non-glioblastoma tumors.
In summary, our results indicate that genetic variants in VTI1A and ETFA may modify individual susceptibility to non-GBM of glioma in the Han Chinese population and support the role of the VTI1A and ETFA genes in the occurrence of glioma.
