Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Contradictory results have been reported about the role of interleukin-1B (IL1B) and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) alleles in gastric carcinogenesis. Here, IL1B and IL1RN polymorphisms were analyzed as genotypes and haplotypes in relation to the presence of atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia in the stomach. METHODS: Two hundred and seventy-eight patients (212 Caucasians and 66 Asians)...
