Abstract excerpt
Overexpression or amplification of the aurora kinase A (AURKA) gene induces chromosomal instability and transformation. AURKA SNPs are associated with several human cancers but their association with gastric cancer has yet to be investigated. In this study, 501 gastric cancer patients and 427 controls were genotyped for two coding SNPs in AURKA, 91A>T (31Ile>Phe) and 169G>A (57Val>Ile). Allele or genotype...
