Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the variations o f mitochondrial D-loop region in gastric cancers. Methods:The D-loop region of 12 gastric cancers together with th e adjacent normal tissues were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Results: Among the 12 cases,16 mutations and 28 polymorphisms were identified with the mutations rate of 50%.There were 3 new polymophisms which we re not reported previously in the GeneBank among the 28 polymorphisms. Conclusion:We think that the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region is a highly polymorphric and mutable region and the mutation rate is relatively high in patients with gastric cancer.
