Abstract excerpt
Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) has been regarded as a constitutively expressed enzyme that generates prostaglandins for gastrointestinal integrity. We attempted to clarify the association between potentially functional polymorphisms (T-1676C and A-842G/C50T) in the COX-1 gene promoter and gastroduodenal disorders in a Japanese population. The study was performed with 480 stocked DNAs from subjects (gastric ulcers in 93...
