Variant rs13361707 is located in the first intron of PRKAA1 at 5p13.1, which was primarily found to be associated with NCGC risk by a GWAS in a Chinese population(1006 non-cardia gastric cancer and 2273 controls, and confirmed with 3288 with non-cardia gastric cancer and 3609 controls) [8], and the significant association was duplicated by other studies on Chinese population(1124 cases and 1,194controls) [14] and on Korean population (Kim et al.: 477 case-control pairs; Song et al.: 3245 cases and 1700 controls) [15, 16].
