Preceding studies have examined the possible link between LAPTM4B polymorphism and susceptibility to several cancers,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 but the findings are still inconsistent. This evidence concerns the gene LAPTM4B and cancer.
