aOnly case-control studies with at least 100 patients and 100 controls reporting genotype frequencies were included. Meta-analyses were excluded. bComparisons were made using Pearson’s chi-square test with the C allele as the reference. Bold values indicate a significance for the T allele with colorectal cancer.
