Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the HER-2 (erbB-2/neu) proto-oncogene have been associated with carcinogenesis and poor prognosis of certain cancers. A single nucleotide polymorphism (Ile/Val, A/G) in the transmembrane domain was reported to be associated with a risk of breast cancer. In our study, we examined the association between the HER-2 polymorphism and gastric carcinoma. The Ile/Ile, Ile/Val and Val/Val genotypes were...
