## Abstract Interleukinβ23 receptor (ILβ23R) is a key element in T helper (Th)17 cellβmediated inflammatory process, which plays an important role in pathogenesis of gastric cancer. Genetic variants of __ILβ23R__ have been identified as the predisposing factors for immunopathologic process. In this
CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17β£, which mediates both 17β£-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
