The purpose of the present hospital-based case-control study was to investigate the association between the miR-34b/c rs4938723 and TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer.
This meta-analysis suggests that Pro allele in P53 Arg72Pro is significantly associated with the increased risks of digestive tract cancers, especially for Asians, and for gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and gallbladder and pancreatic cancer.
