Survivin -31C/G polymorphism and gastric cancer risk in a Brazilian population.

Abstract excerpt

Gastric cancer, despite its decline in incidence, remains a public health problem worldwide, especially in Brazil, where higher incidence indexes are still described. The Survivin gene codifies a multifunctional protein involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and inhibition of the apoptotic pathway, and a polymorphism (-31C/G) located in its promoter region is associated with gene regulation. In order to...
