METHODS： A hospital-based case-control study was conducted, including 307 gastric cancer patients and 307 age- and gender-matched control subjects. The genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. RESULTS： The frequencies of the wild and variant genotypes in cases were significantly different from those of controls （P = 0.019）. Compared with individuals with the wild genotype CC, subjects with the variant genotypes （CT ＋ IT） had a significantly higher risk of gastric cancer （adjusted odds ratio = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.13-2.17, P = 0.007）. In stratified analyses, the elevated gastric cancer risk was especially evident in older individuals aged 〉 58 years, nonsmokers and rural subjects. Further analyses revealed that the variant genotypes were associated with poor tumor differentiation and adjacent organ invasion in the sub-analysis of gastric cancer patients. CONCLUSION： The ITGA2 gene C807T polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer, differentiation and invasion of gastric cancer.展开更多
