Abstract excerpt
The -93G > A (rs1800734) polymorphism within the core promoter region of the MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene has recently been proposed as a low penetrance variant for colorectal cancer (CRC). We evaluated the significance of rs1800734 on CRC risk by genotyping 10 409 CRC cases and 6965 controls. The per allele odds ratio (OR) for all CRC-associated MLH1-93G > A was 1.06 (P = 0.037). Using a subset of 3132 cases with...
