Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A complex interaction of host genetic and environmental factors may be relevant in Helicocobacter pylori-related gastric carcinogenesis. We investigated the effect of VEGF gene polymorphisms on the risk of gastric pre-malignant condition. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The G1612A and C936T polymorphisms in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the VEGF gene were genotyped in 337 cancer-free individuals. The...
