Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Repression of Runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3) gene, a tumor suppressor, has been known to be involved in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastric carcinogenesis and cancer development. The present study was undertaken to study the Runx3 intronic T/A polymorphism (rs760805) in H. pylori-infected patients and uninfected controls of Tamil Nadu region, South India. Also, Runx3 gene...
