BACKGROUND: Next to KRAS mutation status, additional predictive markers are needed for the response to cetuximab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Previous studies indicated that germline polymorphisms in specific genes may predict efficacy and toxicity of cetuximab in mCRC patients. METHODS: Germline DNA was isolated from 246 KRAS wild-type mCRC patients who were treated in the phase III...
