Multiple genome-wide analyses of smoking behavior in the Framingham Heart Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Several reports indicate a commonly deleted chromosomal region independent from, and distal to the TP53 locus in a variety of human tumors. In a previous study, we reported a similar finding in a rat tumor model for endometrial carcinoma (EC) and through developing a deletion map, narrowed the candidate regi...
