Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP1), a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway, is frequently inactivated in human gastric cancer. Genetic variants in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the gene may influence the strength of miRNA binding and the regulation of mRNA transcription, affecting the individual's cancer risk. This study aims to investigate the impact of variants in the 3'...
