Characterization of the linkage disequilibrium structure and identification of tagging-SNPs in five DNA repair genes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that osteopontin (OPN) is associated with many types of cancers. However, no studies have reported the incidence of OPN polymorphisms and the risk of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between OPN polymorphisms and gastric canc...
