The coexistence of copy number variations (CNVs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at a locus can result in distorted calculations of the significance in associating SNPs to disease.

There was no evidence for association of DCC nt 601 C --> G with autoimmune disease in cohorts comprising 2253 subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes and Graves' disease, and 2225 control subjects, from New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
We observed a significantly decreased breast cancerrisk with the rs7504990 C/T, T/T, and C/T-T/T genotypes, and the minor allele T was protective against breast cancer in an allele model.
To elucidate further genetic alterations in flat-type colorectal tumors, codon 201Arg/Gly polymorphism in the DCC (deleted in colorectal carcinoma) gene was analyzed in normal tissue (normal colonic mucosa or peripheral lymphocytes) and in tumor tissue from 191 patients with colorectal tumors (36 patients with flat-type colorectal tumors, 81 patients with polypoid-type colorectal tumors, and 74 patients with advanced carcinomas).
