Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We performed an updated meta-analysis, using a comprehensive strategy of a logistic regression and a model-free approach, to evaluate more precisely the role of the rs4444235 variant near the Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) gene in susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: A total of 19 studies with 28770 cases and 28234 controls were included. Metagen system with logistic regression was...
