In summary, the present meta-analysis suggested that hOGG1Ser326Cys polymorphism might modify the susceptibility to colorectal cancer among the total population, especially among Caucasians.
Polymorphism OGG1S326C was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer [odds ratio (OR), 2.3; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.1-5.0], the risk being higher in younger individuals.
We describe here the first pathogenic germline mutation in OGG1, a splice site mutation affecting exon 1, which was inherited from the father, in combination with a maternal MUTYH missense mutation p.Ile223Val in a female patient with advanced synchronous colon cancer and adenomas at the age of 36 years pointing towards digenic inheritance for colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition.
