Strong evidence was assigned to four variant-related cancer risks in Asians (ERCC4 rs744154 with bladder cancer, ERCC5 rs2296147 with esophageal cancer, ERCC5 rs17655 with laryngeal cancer and uterine cancer, and ERCC5 rs751402 with gastric cancer), moderate to six SNPs with a risk of eight cancers, and weak to nine SNPs with nine cancers. Here, ERCC5 is linked to cancer.
