Abstract excerpt
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its receptor (IL-6R) were regarded to be responsible for the occurrence of gastric cancer for their regulation roles in the inflammation. The genetic variations in these two genes (IL-6: rs6949149, rs1800796, rs10499563 and IL-6R: rs2228145) have been suggested to be associated with gastric cancer risk. However, the published results were inconsistent among subjects of different...
