Abstract excerpt
It is well known that approximately 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases originate from the constitutive activation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. There is increasing evidence that genetic variation both in Wnt and apoptotic pathway genes affects CRC susceptibility and progression. This population-based case-control study, including 1795 CRC cases and 1805 controls, investigates the association between...
