In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that the PARP-1 rs1136410: T > C polymorphism is a susceptibility factor for GI cancers, but the variant allele of MGMT rs12917: C > T polymorphism appears to be a protective factor for colorectal cancer.
The association between higher red meat intake (>3 servings per week) and CRC was modified by the PARP Val762Ala single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP; case-only interaction P = 0.026).
In conclusion, APE1 (Asp148Glu), PARP1 (Ala762Val), and XRCC1 (Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp) were associated with the susceptibility to CRC, but were not associated with the prognosis of CRC.
