FTO polymorphisms are associated with adult body mass index (BMI) and colorectal adenomas in African-Americans.

Carcinogenesis - 1 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is a known risk factor for colon cancer and higher body mass index (BMI) has been associated with colorectal adenomas, which are precursor lesions to most colorectal cancers. Polymorphisms in the fat-mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been associated with BMI and larger effects in older versus younger children have been reported. However, no studies have examined associations between FTO...
