However, the associations between the rs9564966 G > A polymorphism and the survival of Chinese patients with gastric cancer (GC) were unknown. In our present investigation, we adopted the Kaplan©\Meier plots, Cox regression analyses, and the log©\rank tests to explore the associations between rs9564966 G > A polymorphism and the prognosis of 911 Chinese patients with GC. Our results revealed that, compared with GG genotype, patients with GA + AA genotypes had poorer outcomes (HR = 1.348, 95% CI = 1.084©\1.675, P = 0.007), especially in the subgroups of age ¡Ü60 years, male, nondrinker, tumor size >5 cm, tumor site in Noncardia, intestinal©\type tumor, T3/T4 level depth of invasion, N1/N2/N3 level lymph node metastasis, no distant metastasis, III/IV level TNM stages, and no chemotherapy. Our findings suggested that the rs9564966 G > A polymorphism may be a potential biomarker to predict the survival of Chinese patients with GC %K 13q22.1 %K gastric cancer %K rs9564966 %K single©\nucleotide polymorphism %K survival %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6346249/
