Abstract excerpt
The incidence of gastric cancer (GC) in China is among the highest in the world. In present work, 154 patients with GC and 166 healthy controls in population of north-western China were investigated to evaluate the genetic associations of IL-1B gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms of IL-1RN gene with increased risk of GC. The frequency of IL-1B+3954C/T...
