Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: (1) To investigate associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in osteopontin (OPN) and its receptor-cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) genes and gastric cancer susceptibility. (2) To explore the correlation of OPN and CD44 expression of gastric cancer. METHODS: We detected 26 SNPs of the genes in gastric cancer patients from the Chinese Han population by Sequenom technique and...
