Germline predisposition to oncogenic alkylating damage in colorectal cancer
2025-07-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Red meat consumption is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) and has been linked to tumor alkylating DNA damage. rs16906252 -T is a cis expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) variant associated with silencing of MGMT , a central alkylating damage repair gene. We hypothesize that rs16906252 -T carriers are predisposed to alkylating damage mutations. <h4>Methods</h4> We conducted mutat...
