Furthermore, we researched genes involved in the PD-L1 pathway which include EGFR, HRAS, RAF1, ALK, PIK3CA, PTEN, AKT3, EGF, MAP2K1, MAPK1, MTOR, RPS6KB1, CHUK, NFKBIA, NFKB1, IFNG, IFNGR1, STAT1, TLR9, TIRAP, MYD88, TRAF6, TICAM1, TICAM2, FOS, HIF1A, and NFATC1 in gastric cancer. This evidence concerns the gene TLR9 and gastric cancer.
