Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to determine whether a single nucleotide polymorphism at G473A (rs1800449) within the LOX-propeptide is associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer. We investigated the genotype and allele frequencies of this gene in tissue specimens from 458 gastric cancer patients and 282 healthy individuals. Polymorphism analysis was performed by amplifying the propeptide region of LOX and...
