RPA1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Here, to investigate germline polymorphisms that might contribute to NPC prognosis, we conducted a large exome‐wide association study of 31 870 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with survival in two consecutive cohorts from Southern China involving 3257 patients with NPC and observed an association of a germline polymorphism in RPA1 gene with survival.
