Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations and polymorphisms in TP53 gene--an overview on the role in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: The inherited genetics of TP53 pathway components could be utilised to further define patient populations in their abilities to induce p53 activity in response to either DNA damaging or p53-targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA repair genetic polymorphisms and risk of colorectal cancer in the Czech Republic.

TL;DR: Considering the subtle effect of the DNA repair polymorphisms on the risk of colorectal cancer, exploration of gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions with a large sample size with sufficient statistical power are recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms in miRNA-binding sites of nucleotide excision repair genes and colorectal cancer risk.

TL;DR: Variation in miRNA target binding sites in the 3'untranslated region of NER genes may be important for modulating colorectal cancer risk, with a different relevance according to tumor location.
