Abstract excerpt
Both transforming growth factor-β receptor I (TGFBR1) and receptor II (TGFBR2) are serine/threonine kinases and play important roles in TGF-β/Smads signal pathway. The case-control study was performed to evaluate the possible association of Int7G24A and *6A polymorphisms of TGFBR1 and G-875A polymorphism of TGFBR2 with susceptibility to gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) in a population of North China....
