Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting HSPA1A have been linked to an increased incidence of gastric carcinoma (as determined in a cohort of 39 patients and 186 controls) (81), a SNP affecting THBS1 has been correlated with gastric cancer occurrence and progression in a cohort of 275 patients and 275 healthy individuals (83), while a SNP in LMAN1 as well as the consequent decrease in LMAN1 levels appear to be associated with an increased risk for ovarian carcinoma (as determined in a cohort of 289 women seen in gynecologic oncology practice and 126 healthy volunteers) (82). The gene discussed is LMAN1; the disease is gastric carcinoma.
