Conversely, there was significant correlation of a high MLH1 TaqMeth value to synchronous gastric cancer (P = 0.0001, Fig 2C), advanced age (P = 0.0048, Fig 2D), histological type (P = 0.028, Fig 2E), and antral location of the tumor (P = 0.049) (Fig 2F). This evidence concerns the gene MLH1 and gastric cancer.
