Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIM: Results from different pharmacogenetic association studies in colorectal cancer are often conflicting. Both peripheral blood and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue are routinely used as DNA source. This could cause bias due to somatic alterations in tumor tissue, such as loss of heterozygosity. We therefore compared genotypes in DNA from peripheral blood and FFPE colorectal tumor...
