Is low expression of KLF17 associated with tumor invasion in esophageal carcinoma?
These results suggest that KLF17 inhibits tumor development and may serve as a potential therapeutic target.
This study demonstrated new SNP markers significantly associated with skatole levels in the distal region of chromosome 6p. These markers defined three independent clusters in the region, which contain a low number of protein-coding genes. The considerable differences observed between the homozygous genotypes for several SNPs may be used in future selection schemes to reduce skatole levels in pigs.
