In conclusion, our data suggests thatMSH6 Glu39Gly polymorphism is associated with the risk of developing sporadic colorectal cancer in polish population.
These findings suggest that hMSH6 Glu39Gly polymorphism is associated with the risk of developing colorectal cancer in the Polish population, probably due to a defective mismatch repair system.
Four single nucleotide polymorphisms in 3 mismatch repair genes (MSH3 R940Q, MSH3 T1036A, MSH6 G39E and MLH1 I219V) were genotyped in 237 colorectal cancer cases and a subcohort of 2,189 participants.
The Glu995STOP founder mutation is not a familial breast cancer predisposition allele and makes only a limited contribution to colorectal cancer burden in Finland.
