Abstract
The article presents a study which aimed to validate the association between 15q25 variant rs16969968 and risk of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers in women in an independent series of UADT cancer cases and controls from UADT cancer case-control studies participating in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium. The findings revealed the strongest association with 15q25 variant among female laryngeal cancer. It also found susceptibility to larynx cancer based on gender which remained unchanged through the years.
