Table 5 The association of IL-8 -251 T > A polymorphism with the risk of GC in different ethnicities

From: Combination of Helicobacter pylori infection and the interleukin 8 –251 T > A polymorphism, but not the mannose-binding lectin 2 codon 54 G > A polymorphism, might be a risk factor of gastric cancer
