摘要
Dear Editor,Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)has poor prognosis because of the difficulty in early detection and low sensitivity of advanced disease to radiochemotherapy.1,2 ESCC presents a high proportion of primary resistance to radiochemotherapy,2which may be due to certain individual genetic variations.Expression quantitative trait loci(eQTLs)as proximal and continuous cellular phenotypes have been shown to be helpful to determine how genetic variants may influence phenotype.
