To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between TGF-β1 polymorphisms and gastric cancer (GC) risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of all available case-control studies relating the C-509 T, T869C, and G 915C polymorphisms of the TGF-β1 gene to the risk of developing GC. The effect summary odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained. Funnel plots and Egger's test were used to...
