Gastric Cancer Susceptibility Is Not Linked to Pro-and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Whites: A Nationwide Multicenter Study in Spain

Abstract

Our results show that, at least in some white populations, the contribution of the cytokine gene polymorphisms evaluated in this study (IL-1B, IL-1RN, IL-12p40, LTA, IL-10, IL-4, and TGF-B1) to GC susceptibility may be less relevant than previously reported.
