Using an approach based on candidate genes whose roles in pancreatic cancer have been well known, we identified two new susceptibility loci. rs11571836 located in the BRCA2 3'-untranslated region was significantly associated with lower expression of BRCA2 transcript and increased pancreatic cancer risk [odds ratio = 1.30, 95% confidence interval = 1.14-1.47, P = 7.64 × 10(-5)] in a recessive manner. rs12939944 located in the MAP2K4 intron was associated with decreased risk (odds ratio = 0.82, 95% confidence interval = 0.74-0.91, P = 0.0001) in a dominant manner.

In the current, hospital-based case-control study of 471 cervical cancer cases and 600 sex and age frequency-matched cancer-free controls in an Eastern Chinese population, we genotyped two common polymorphisms in the MKK4 promoter region (-1304T>G, rs3826392 and -1044A>T, rs3809728)c and assessed their associations with the risk of cervical cancer.

In current hospital-based case-control study of 706 patients with sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) and 723 sex-age-frequency-matched control subjects in a southern Chinese population, we genotyped two polymorphisms of MKK4 promoter (i.e., -1304T>G, rs3826392 and -1044A>T, rs3809728) and assessed their associations with the risk of sporadic CRC.
