Abstract excerpt
CpG island hyper-methylation (CIHM) is one of the major events in the gastric carcinogenesis. IL-17A, -17F and MIF have a crucial role in the gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis. Recently, we showed that the genetic polymorphisms of MIF-794-CATT repeat are associated with CIHM status in the n...
