Obesity-related genes variability in Czech patients with sporadic colorectal cancer: preliminary results.

International journal of colorectal disease - 1 Mar 2009

Vasků Anna, Vokurka Jirí, Bienertová-Vasků Julie

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic variability in obesity-related genes and the resulting phenotypes are being recognized as major risk factors for colorectal cancer and/or severity of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 102 patients (aged 68 +/- 10.2 years, 79 men and 23 women) and 101 age-matched (68.1 +/- 5.4 years old) individuals without colorectal cancer, 59 men and 42 women, were recruited. All the individuals...
