Laboratory and seroepidemiologic studies have suggested that insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), the main binding protein for IGF-I, may be protective against colorectal cancer. We investigated the association of two polymorphisms (A-202C and G2133C) in the IGFBP3 gene with plasma IGF hormone levels among 887 randomly selected participants in the Multiethnic Cohort study. We found that these...
