Abstract:

Although the morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer is on the decline around the world, it is still rising in China recently and has become one of main factors that influences on the quality of people′s life.The pathogenesis of gastric cancer is associated with various factors, involving in gene polymorphism, inflammatory cytokines, biochemical mechanisms and so on. In particular, lymphotoxin-alpha(LTA) gene single nucleotide polymorphism has been a hot spot in the research of gastric carcinogenesis in recent years.While LTA rs909253(A/G), rs1041981(C/A), rs2229094(T/C), rs746868(G/C)and so on have some associations with gastric cancer, there is no consistent result.This article reviews the current progress in the relationship between LTA gene polymorphism and the susceptibility of gastric cancer.

Key words: Lymphotoxin-alpha gene, Single nucleotide polymorphism, Gastric cancer
