Association between polymorphism near the MC4R gene and cancer risk: A meta-analysis.

Medicine - 4 Sept 2020

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genome-wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), gene which are associated with risk of obesity. Since obesity is an established risk factor of cancer, several studies have examined the association between SNPs near the MC4R gene and cancer risk, but the findings are inconsistent. The present study aimed to perform a...
