Functional polymorphisms in circadian positive feedback loop genes predict postsurgical prognosis of gastric cancer

Background Circadian positive feedback loop (CPFL) genes (CLOCK, BAML1, and NPAS2) have been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CPFL genes on prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) patients.
