Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms are believed to represent a key aspect of predisposition to gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, considering the important role of Cathepsin B (CTSB) in promoting cancer onset and development, it could be very worthful to explore the function of CTSB-related genetic polymorphisms in GC. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated the correlation of CTSB-related polymorphisms (rs9009A>T,...
