Title:The MLH1 2101C>A (Q701K) variation is related to risk of gastric cancer in
Chinese males
Version: 2Date:21 January 2011
Reviewer: Karsten Schulmann
Reviewer's report:
Comment to revised manuscript entitled „The MLH1 2101C>A (Q701K) variation
is related to risk of gastric cancer in Chinese males“ by Zhi et al.
All my issues from the initial review were successfully addressed and I have no
further comments on the text.
However, I am not happy with the added photography of MLH1 staining. As far
as I can recognize smooth muscle cells and lymphocytes are not stained as well
which is quite unusual.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests
