Inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms in gastric cancer cases' and controls' family members from Chinese areas at high cancer prevalence

Cancer Lett. 2008 Nov 8;270(2):250-9. doi: 10.1016/j.canlet.2008.05.013. Epub 2008 Jun 18.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the associations about Helicobacter pylori infection and polymorphisms of IL-1B-31/-511 and IL-1RN VNTR polymorphism with gastric cancer in cases' and controls' family members from the areas of high cancer prevalence in China. IL-1B-511T and IL-1RN *2 were associated with risks of gastric cancer. The association strength reduced with the relative degree decreasing. Such association was not found in the polymorphisms of IL-1B-31. But the haplotype analysis of IL-1B-511 and IL-1B-31 genotype could enhance the risks of gastric cancer. The positive H. pylori status could increase the risks of IL-1B to gastric cancer.
