Compared with those with rs1194338 -CC genotype, the risk of CRC was significantly lower in individuals with AC genotype (OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.65-0.95) and AA genotype (OR=0.68; 95% CI=0.51-0.89).
We identified that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1194338 was significantly associated with the decreased colorectal cancer risk with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.70 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.49-0.99] in the combined stage.
