The principal genetic determinants for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China involve the HLA class I antigen recognition groove.

The principal genetic determinants for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China involve the HLA class I antigen recognition groove.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an epithelial malignancy facilitated by Epstein-Barr Virus infection. Here we resolve the major genetic influences for NPC incidence using a genome-wide association study (GWAS), independent cohort replication, and high-resolution molecular HLA class I gene typing i...
