Abstract excerpt
We aimed to investigate the associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two mismatch repair genes (hMLH1 and hMSH2) and colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis in Northeast China. We genotyped 387 patients for 10 SNPs in hMLH1 and hMSH2, using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism approach. Associations between genotypes and overall survival (OS) were estimated using...
