Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) usually arises in the background of gallstone disease which may be causatively related to decreased gallbladder contractility. Cholecystokinin receptor A (CCK-AR) mediates signals resulting in gallbladder contraction. Deteriorating gallbladder contraction promotes gallstone formation. A common genetic polymorphism of CCK-AR may be causatively associated with the risk of gallstone and GBC. This study aimed to understand the association of CCK-AR Pst I polymorphism in gallstone disease with gallbladder cancer.
