Abstract excerpt
The Czech Republic presents one of the highest incidences of colorectal cancer in the world. We genotyped 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms in five DNA mismatch repair genes in 614 colorectal cancer cases and 614 matched controls from this country. The carriers of T-allele of the hMSH6-556G>T polymorphism were at increased risk of colorectal cancer (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.02-1.62). The stratification of data showed...
