Genetic variation in the lipoxygenase pathway and risk of colorectal neoplasia
AssociationN=5,618Sarah E. Kleinstein et al.(2013)· Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer

This case-control study investigated associations between genetic polymorphisms in lipoxygenase pathway genes (ALOX5, FLAP, ALOX12, ALOX15) and colorectal cancer risk across three US populations (colon cancer: 1424 cases/1780 controls; rectal cancer: 583 cases/775 controls; adenoma: 485 cases/578 controls). The ALOX5 VNTR variant was associated with significantly lower rectal cancer risk (OR>5/≥5 vs 5/5 = 0.42, p=0.01). Four SNPs (rs17239025, rs2073438, rs4796535, rs2619112) were associated with rectal cancer risk at p≤0.05. Genetic variability in FLAP and ALOX15 modified the protective effect of NSAID use against colorectal neoplasia, particularly for rectal cancer.
