Polymorphisms of PRLHR and HSPA12A and risk of gastric and colorectal cancer in the Chinese Han population.

Background: Gastric and colorectal cancers have a major impact on public health, and are the most common malignant tumors in China. The aim of this research was to study whether polymorphisms of CHCHD3P1-HSP90AB7P, GRID1, HSPA12A, PRLHR, SBF2, POLD3 and C11orf93-C11orf92 genes are associated with the risk of gastric and colorectal cancers in the Chinese Han population.

Methods: We genotyped seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from seven genes.
