Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays an important role in gastric carcinoma. Using a case-control study, we analyzed the genotypic distribution of TLR4 rs10983755 (-2081G/A) and rs11536878 in a Chinese population and investigated the effect of their interactions with Helicobacter pylori infection on susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) and atrophic gastritis (AG). METHODS: In this study, 409 and 581 cases of...
