ASSOCIATION OF INTERLEUKIN-10 -592A>C AND -819T>C POLYMORPHISMS WITH GASTRIC CANCER RISK: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF 44 CASE-CONTROL STUDIES.

Introduction: A series of studies have evaluated the association between -592A>C and -819T>C polymorphisms in the promoter regions of Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and gastric cancer (GC) risk. However, the results remain inconclusive.

Objective: To better understand the association of the polymorphisms with GC risk, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis.
