Firstly, we have decided to perform a case-control study which included 897 GC patients and 992 controls to evaluate the association of miR-219-1 rs213210, miR-938 rs2505901, miR-34b/c rs4938723, and miR-218 rs11134527 polymorphisms with gastric cancer susceptibility.
Our findings indicate that the miR-34b/c rs4938723 CT/CC genotypes may be associated with a decreased risk of gas</span>tric cancer and the C allele may be a protective factor in gastric cancer.
