A functional genetic variant in GAS5 lncRNA (rs145204276) modulates p27Kip1 expression and confers risk for gastric cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, genetic polymorphism of GAS5 may influence the development of gastric cancer and so could be a new marker of this disease. The link with disease may involve p27Kip1 expression.
