Table 2.
ITGA2 gene polymorphisms associated with multiple types of cancer.
| Type of Cancer | ITGA2 status/role |
|---|---|
| Breast Cancer | ITGA2 1648G > A (95% of the breast cancer patients expressed the 1648AA genotype).9 |
| Colorectal cancer | ITGA2 807C > T polymorphism was associated with reduced colorectal cancer risk but no effects on overall survival or relapse-free survival.10, 11 |
| Gastric Cancer | ITGA2 807C > T polymorphism may be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer, differentiation and invasion of gastric cancer.12 |
| Lymph node positive breast cancer | No correlation of polymorphism with disease-free survival or relapse-free survival.13 |
| Melanoma | Very conserved polymorphisms have small effects in melanoma.84 |
| Colon cancer | Up-regulated.85 |
