Meanwhile, a genotype analysis of four H19 SNPs (rs217727 C>T, rs2839698 C>T, rs3741216 A>T, rs3741219 T>C) in 500 patients with gastric cancer and 500 healthy controls showed that the rs217727T and rs2839698T allele carriers have increased risk of developing gastric cancer.36 The gene discussed is H19; the disease is gastric cancer.
