Background Visceral sensory impulses are transmitted via C-fibers from the gastrointestinal tract to the central nervous system. The tetrodotoxinresistant (TTX-r) sodium channel, Na(V) 1.8/SNS (sensory-neuron specific), encoded by SCN10A, has been identified on C-fibers. We attempted to clarify the association between functional dyspepsia (FD) and SCN10A non-synonymous polymorphisms (2884 A>G,...
We report an association between gastric cancer (GC) and polymorphisms in IL17A, rs2275913 (−197 G>A), rs3748067 ( ∗ 1249 C>T), and pri-miR-938, rs2505901 (T>C). We employed the multiplex PCR-SSCP method to detect gene polymorphisms in 337 GC cases and 587 controls. The minor allele frequency of rs2275913 was significantly higher, and those of rs3748067 and rs2505901 significantly...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key proinflammatory mediator. Two functional polymorphisms were identified in the promoter region of MIF gene. We attempted to clarify the associations between these polymorphisms and ulcerative colitis (UC). The study was performed in 111 patients with UC and 209 subjects without UC. We employed the PCR–SSCP method to detect gene polymorphisms. Overall,...
