Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The runt-related transcription factor RUNX3 plays essential roles in various types of tumors, including gastric cancer. Epigenetic changes in the methylation of the RUNX3 proximal promoter, but not common genetic changes in RUNX3, have been associated with both changes in the gene expression and development of the cancer. METHODS: A case-control association study was conducted by genotyping 865...
