In this study, SNPs rs2273535, rs1047972, rs911160 and rs8173 (AURKA), rs2241909 and rs2289590 (AURKB), rs758099 and rs11084490 (AURKC), and rs42873 (PLK1) mitotic kinases were screened for associations with the genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) in Bosnian population. The gene discussed is AURKA; the disease is gastric cancer.
