PTGS2 c.-765G/C Polymorphism Profile

**Semantic type:** Laboratory Procedure

**Definition:** The determination of the whether the nucleotide at position -765 upstream of the start site of the PTGS2 gene is a guanine or cytosine. The presence of cytosine at this site may indicate a decreased risk for coronary artery disease and an increased risk for gastric cancer in certain populations.
