Abstract excerpt
A recent study examined common genetic variants at the adiponectin locus (ADIPOQ) in two case-control colorectal cancer (CRC) series from the USA and reported a positive association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5' region of the gene (rs266729) and decreased disease risk. In an attempt to replicate the previously reported association, we examined data from two CRC genome-wide association...
