Therefore, we analyzed this polymorphism, the glutamate carboxypeptidase (GCP) II C1561T and the reduced folate carrier (RFC) G80A in a case-control study involving 106 patients with histologically confirmed and characterized gastric cancer with adjustment for other established risk factors for gastric cancer in comparison to 106 age- and sex-matched controls.
To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the associations of the G80A polymorphism of RFC1 with EC and GC risk in a case-control study of 216 EC and 633 GC cases and 673 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population.
