Anatomical site of tumour compared with allelic imbalance (AI) on chromosome 12q and ethnicity
| Cardia | Body | Antrum | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The anatomical site of origin of the tumour could be determined for 66% of the 76 tumours. | ||||
| *Fisher’s exact test, when the table is collapsed into a 2×2 table comparing white with minority for anatomical site (cardia versus body+antrum). If the grouping is (cardia+body) versus antrum, p=0.023. †Fisher’s exact test, when table is collapsed into a 2×2 table comparing (cardia+body) versus antrum for AI on chromosome 12q. | ||||
