Abstract excerpt
The Runt-related transcription factors (RUNX), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) 1 and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) are potentially involved in tumorigenesis. We evaluated genetic variation in RUNX1 (40 tagSNPs), RUNX2 (19 tagSNPs), RUNX3 (9 tagSNPs), MAPK1 (6 tagSNPs), eIF4E (3 tagSNPs), eIF4EBP2 (2 tagSNP) and eIF4EBP3 (2 tagSNPs) to determine associations with colorectal cancer...
