Association between interleukin gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to gastric cancer in the Qinghai population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the associations between interleukin (IL) gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to gastric cancer in the Qinghai population, China.

Methods

Patients with gastric cancer and cancer-free controls were enrolled into the study from Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital between September 2016 and September 2018. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped with the Sequenom MassARRAY® SNP genotype system. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in allele and genotype frequencies, and general characteristics between patients with gastric cancer and cancer-free controls, were evaluated using χ²-test. Potential associations between interleukin gene variants and the risk of gastric cancer were analysed by logistic regression.
