Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms of genes encoding cytokines could be potential biomarkers to predict risk of gastric cancer (GC).

METHODS: In this case-control study of 215 GC cases and 518 non-cancer controls, the IL-6 -6331 (T/C, rs10499563) polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain...
