Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recently, six colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility loci have been identified, and two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)--rs16892766 (8q23.3) and rs3802842 (11q23.1)--from two of these regions have been found to be significantly associated with an increased CRC risk in patients with Lynch syndrome. The objective of this study was to genotype nine SNPs within these six loci to confirm previous...
