Abstract excerpt
Death receptor 4 (DR4) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor genes. A single nucleotide polymorphism (Thr or Arg, C or G) in the extracellular domain was reported to be associated with a risk of lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and bladder cancer. In this study, we examined the association between the DR4 polymorphism and gastric cancer. The Thr/Thr, Thr/Arg and...
