Association between CD14 SNP -159 C/T and gastric cancer: an independent case–control study and an updated meta-analysis

Purpose The association between CD14 -159C/T polymorphism and the susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC) has been reported. However, the results were inconclusive. In the present study, a case–control study and a meta-analysis were performed to assess the possible association between -159C/T in the CD14 gene and GC risk.
