In fact, in a study performed by our group in a cohort of 107 patients with gastric cancer and 58 controls in which we analyzed the 14bp INS/DEL and +3142C/G polymorphisms (69), the implication of the DEL allele in gastric cancer (70.0% in patients vs 57.0% in controls, p=0.025) was assessed, as well as that of the haplotype formed by the combination of the 14bp DEL/+3142C variants, also increased in patients compared to controls (54.1% vs 44.4%, p=0.034). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is gastric cancer.
