“…In a study conducted with 110 patients with noncardia GC and 251 patients with benign gastroduodenal diseases, NAVAGLIA et al (2005) reported no correlation between IL-12 gene polymorphisms and IM; however, IL12A and IL12B+15485gene polymorphisms might affect the latest steps of gastric carcinogenesis in H. pylori infected subjects. GARCIA-GONZÁLEZ et al (2005) reported no significant differences between peptic ulcer patients and controls in carriage, genotype, sex, and allele frequencies of the IL-121188 gene polymorphism (GARCIA-GONZALEZ et al, 2005) In another study conducted in Spanish population, GARCIA-GONZALEZ et al (2005) could not find a relationship between cytokine polymorphisms (IL-1B, IL-1RN, IL-12p40, LTA, IL-10, IL-4, and TGF-B1) and susceptibility for GC development (GARCIA-GONZALEZ et al, 2007). YIN et al (2015) conducted a hospital based case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of IL9, IL10, IL12A, IL12B, and IL13 polymorphisms on the development of gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA).…”
