Meta-analysis of the relationship between XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and colorectal cancer susceptibility

L. Z. Zhang, Li, Y. S., and Liu, H. Z., Meta-analysis of the relationship between XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and colorectal cancer susceptibility, vol. 14, pp. 14831-14839, 2015.

Numerous studies have evaluated the relationship between the T241M polymorphism of the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) gene and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. However, the specific relationship remains controversial. We conducted meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between the XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and CRC risk. The PubMed and Embase databases were searched for relevant studies investigating the relationship between the XRCC3 T241M polymorphism and CRC risk.

RUNX3 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes in Mexican patients with colorectal cancer

S. Suárez-Villanueva, Ayala-Madrigal, M. L., Peregrina-Sandoval, J., Macias-Gomez, N., Ramírez-Ramírez, R., Muñiz-Mendoza, R., Moreno-Ortiz, J. M., Centeno-Flores, M., Maciel-Gutiérrez, V., Cabrales, E., and Gutierrez-Angulo, M., RUNX3 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes in Mexican patients with colorectal cancer, vol. 14, pp. 15505-15510, 2015.

We analyzed a possible association between RUNX3 gene polymorphisms and haplotypes in Mexican patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Genomic DNA samples were obtained from the peripheral blood of 176 Mexican patients with CRC at diagnosis and from 195 individuals that formed the control group. The polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Association was estimated by odds ratio (OR). The haplotypes and linkage disequilibrium were established using the Arlequin v3.5 software.
