SNP rs719725 was statistically significantly associated with risk of colorectal cancer in WHI (OR per A allele 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01-1.40; P(trend) = 0.04), marginally associated with adenoma risk in PLCO (OR per A allele 1.11; 95% CI, 0.99-1.25; P(trend) = 0.07), and not associated in DALS and MinnCCS.
This study examined the associations among dietary seaweed intake (gim, miyeok, and dashima), single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs6983267, rs7014346, and rs719725), and CRC risk in a Korean population.
Furthermore, NIRF is immediately adjacent to the single nucleotide polymorphism rs719725, which is reportedly associated with the risk of colorectal cancer.
We observed an association between a SNP on 9p24 (rs719725) and risk of CRC in the population-based series (AA versus CC: odds ratios, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.02; AC versus CC: odds ratios, 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.98; P = 0.011 on 2 df).
