Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of IQGAP1 in esophageal cancer tissues and its relationship between their expressions and the clinical pathological features in Kazaks. METHODS:The mRNA expression level of IQGAP1 in 48 Kazak's esophageal cancer specimens were measured by RT-PCR. The relationship between clinical pathologic features and expressions of IQGAP1mRNA level was analyzed. RESULTS:The expression of IQGAP1 mRNA in cancer tissues was (50%) significantly higher than that of normal tissues (P<0.05). However,the expression level of IQGAP1 mRNA was not significantly related to the degree of differentiation,depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION:IQGAP1 gene expression may be related to the development of esophageal cancer with Kazak.
