Abstract excerpt
Several studies have investigated the association between the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene +896A/G polymorphism and gastric carcinogenesis, including gastric cancer and precancerous gastric lesions. However, published results are inconsistent. So, we performed a meta-analysis to assess whether the TLR4 +896A/G single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a risk factor in gastric cancer development. We searched...
