Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and CD14-mediated recognition of lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) is required for efficient recognition of gram-negative bacterial infections. We investigated the effects of common polymorphisms of TLR4 Asp299Gly, Thr399Ile, and CD14 promoter-C159T on the risk of gastric cancer...
