In TGFB1, we observed that the T allele of rs1800469 (C˃T at the 5’UTR region) was associated with decreased EC susceptibility under dominant model, which was consistent with the result in gastric cancer among the same ethnic population (cases/controls = 675/704, aOR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.52–0.82) [26]. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and gastric cancer.
