Two correlated SNPs--rs10090154 and rs4242382--in Region 1 of chromosome 8q24, a prostate cancer susceptibility region, demonstrated statistically significant associations with colorectal cancer risk.
None of the other three single nucleotide polymorphisms, two associated with prostate (rs10090154 and rs7000448) and one with both prostate and colorectal cancers (rs6583267), was associated with breast cancer risk in our study.
