Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Fat absorption may play a crucial role in colorectal carcinogenesis by determining intra-colonic exposure to potentially carcinogenic lipid metabolites. METHODS: We conducted a population-based case-control study that included 1163 cases and 1501 controls to examine whether individuals who carry genetic variants associated with lower lipid absorption have a higher risk of colorectal cancer. Using Taqman...
