Endothelin-1 single nucleotide polymorphisms and risk of pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma.
Pulmonary metastases are the major cause of death of osteosarcoma (OS) patients. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) reportedly plays an important role in OS metastasis. In the present study, we for the first time explored the association of ET-1 SNPs with the risk of pulmonary metastatic OS. We genotyped three SNP...
