Abstract excerpt
A complex interaction of host genetic and environmental factors may be relevant in the development of Helicocobacter pylori-related gastric carcinogenesis. We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphisms on the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and peptic ulcer diseases in a Japanese population. The G1612A(rs10434) and C936T(rs3025039) polymorphisms in the 3' untranslated...
