Multiple genetic variants are associated with colorectal cancer risk in the Han Chinese population

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health burden worldwide and is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in Europe. CRC is a complex disease resulting from a series of genetic and epigenetic changes that lead to a stepwise progression from normal mucosa to dysplasia and finally to carcinoma. In this study, we present genetic association results between 25 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms and CRC in a case-control study (203 cases, 296 controls) of a Han Chinese population. We found that rs1143634 … Show more

“…Of them, two studies written in Chinese were excluded because of the overlap of study subjects [22, 32]. Moreover, one investigation was excluded for only focused on gastric survival not case-control study [51], three publications were excluded due to lack of genotyping data [52-54], one was not focused on cancer [55], and another two that did not pertain to either of these two polymorphism were also excluded [56, 57]. Eventually, 32 publications were included in the final meta-analysis.…”

“…The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the most common form of human genetic variations and are significantly associated with many cancers risk (Geng et al, ; Hu et al, ; Tian et al, ). Recently, an increasing number of evidence suggests that genetic susceptibility plays an important role in the occurrence of colorectal cancer (Duan et al, ; Su et al, ; Wang et al, ; Zhang, Li, Du, et al, ).…”
