Abstract excerpt
Thrombospondin-2 (THBS2) and Thrombospondin-4 (THBS4) play an important role in cancer development and progression. However, genetic evidence for their roles in gastric cancer (GC) is lacking. The aim of this study was to explore the association of THBS2/THBS4 polymorphisms with risk and clinicopathological features of GC in a Southeast Chinese population. Eight tagging SNPs in THBS2 and THBS4 were genotyped in...
