Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both genetic and epigenetic changes, particularly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, play crucial roles in gastric cancer development. Nuts, highlighted for their anti-inflammatory effects, may help maintain proper DNA methylation patterns. Thus, we hypothesized that high intake of nuts may interact with the DNA methylation-related genetic factor, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) rs16999593...
