Rare minisatellite alleles of MUC2-MS8 influence susceptibility to rectal carcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previously, we identified eight novel minisatellites in the MUC2, of which allelic variants in MUC2-MS6 were examined to influence susceptibility to gastric cancer. However, studies on the susceptibility to gastrointestinal cancer of other minisatellites in the MUC2 region still remain unprogressive. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated whether polymorphic variations in the MUC2-MS8 region are...
