Abstract: To compare gene expression between different populations with gastric cancer and to try to establish relationships between gene differential expression and possible environmental and dietary selective pressure factors. Materials and methods: The differential expression of genes in gastric cancer samples from different populations is studied using the edgeR package of the R software. Clinical and biological differences between populations are studied, and an attempt is made to establish a plausible relationship between differential expression and environmental and dietary factors by establishing interrelated physiological pathways. Results. The gene differential expression study includes a total of 71 samples from 4 distinct populations (latin, white, asian and black). Significant differences between tumor type, stage at diagnosis, and presence of metastasis are described. Gene differential expression is described in comparisons 2 to 2 of the different populations, highlighting a differential expression in genes involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and histocompatibility molecule phenotype, which could be related to selective pressure factors such as obesity and Helicobacter pylori infection, respectively. Conclusions. Significant differences in histological type and stage at diagnosis are confirmed in different populations, which have differential expression in genes that could be modulated by environmental and dietary effects such as obesity and Helicobacter pylori infection.
