In this report, a total of 417 HNPCC participants were genotyped for the 677 C>T and 1298 A>C SNPs to determine whether there exists an association with the age of disease onset of CRC. Genotyping of both SNPs was performed by TaqMan assay technology. Associations in disease risk were further investigated using Kaplan–Meier survival analysis and Cox hazard regression. The average ages of disease diagnosis were found to be different between individuals harbouring either one of the MTHFR polymorphisms. Both Kaplan–Meier and Cox hazard regression analyses revealed a more complex relationship between the two polymorphisms and the age of CRC onset. The Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that compound heterozygotes for the two SNPs developed CRC 10 years later compared with those carrying only wild-type alleles.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:40 AEDT ]]> DNA repair gene polymorphisms and risk of early onset colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20280 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:53 AEDT ]]> IGF1 is a modifier of disease risk in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5435 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:14 AEDT ]]>
