When stratified by tumor location, hMLH1 -93G>A and IVS3-1403A>T were associated with colon cancer survival (for hMLH1 -93G>A, AA+AG vs. GG, HRadj = 0.34, 95 % CI 0.17-0.68, p < 0.01; for hMLH1 IVS3-1403A>T, AT vs. AA, HR(adj) = 2.20, 95 % CI 1.11-4.36, p = 0.02), rather than rectal cancer.
Our aim was to determine the effect of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) -93G>A of the MLH1 gene (rs1800734) and Gly322Asp of the MSH2 gene (rs4987188) on the risk of colon cancer (CC) and identify any relationship with clinical factors.
Statistically significant interactions were observed between: MLH1 -93G>A and smoking (MSI-negative colon cancer only, p value interaction: 0.005); and MLH1 Ile219Val and Western diet (p value interaction: 0.03).

The objective of our investigation was to evaluate associations between the MSH6 G39E (116G>A) polymorphism and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) and BRAF V600E mutations in tumors from a sample of 1048 individuals with colon cancer and 1964 controls from Utah, Northern California, and Minnesota.
From the Colon Cancer Family Registry, we identified 10 carriers who had both a MUTYH mutation (6 with c.1187G>A p.(Gly396Asp), 3 with c.821G>A p.(Arg274Gln), and 1 with c.536A>G p.(Tyr179Cys)) and a MMR gene mutation (3 in MLH1, 6 in MSH2, and 1 in PMS2), 375 carriers of a single (monoallelic) MUTYH mutation alone, and 469 carriers of a MMR gene mutation alone.
