| Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China.Acorrding to The Status and Trends of Tumors in China 2017 published by the National Cancer Center: The incidence of GC ranks second among Chinese male patients and fourth among female patients,and GC remains the second leading causes of cancer-related death in China.Because of the deficiency of early gastric cancer screening system,gastric cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage in China.Chemotherapy-led multimodality therapy model is still the main treatment for advanced gastric cancer,but the prognosis of the patients with advanced gastric cancer is poor,median survival time has not yet exceeded 1 year.Single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)is defined as an DNA sequence polymorphism caused by a single nucleotide mutation,which can better reflect the differences between individuals and populations,it has the characteristics of high frequency of mutation,wide distribution,stable Genetic and mature detection technology,has become the main research methods in pharmacogenomics.It has a wide distribution,high frequency of mutation,stable Genetic and detection technology is mature,has become the main research methods in pharmacogenomics.Many studies have reported that the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays an important role in the process of tumorigenesis,invasion and metastasis.However,There is rare research about the relationship between PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway gene single nucleotideand the status of gastric cancer chemotherapy efficacy and survival prognosis at home and abroad.Objective:This research is designed to investigate the association of PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway single nucleotide polymorphism with first-line chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer by detecting the polymorphism of 20 SNP locis in PI3K、PTEN、Akt、mTOR.Methods:The pathological specimens and clinical data of 82 patients with advanced gastric cancer who received first-line chemotherapy from 2010.1 to 2016.5 in the second hospital of Dalian Medical University were collected,then we test the genetic polymorphism of each loci by SNaPshot sequencing,The correlation among clinicopathological features、chemotherapy regimen and chemotherapy efficacy、disease control rate was analyzed by χ2 test or Fisher exact test,and correlation among clinicopathological features、chemotherapy regimen and PFS、OS was analyzed by Log Rank test,P <0.05 for the difference was statistically significant,survival curve was drawn by using Kaplan-Meier method.the gene polymorphism of each locus and efficiency of chemotherapy、disease control rate were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis,and calculated the OR and 95%CI,the gene polymorphism of each locus and PFS、OS were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression analysis,P <0.05 for the difference was statistically significant,survival curve was drawn by using Kaplan-Meier method,all the data are analyzing by SPSS22.0.Result:1、PIK3CA rs3729679、rs7651265、rs7640662、rs7621329、rs2459693,PTEN rs2835343、rs701848、rs17431184、rs12569998,Akt1
