## Abstract Polymorphisms in the 2 cell‐cycle control genes __Aurora A__ and __Cyclin D1__ have previously been associated with changes in the age of onset of colorectal cancer in persons harboring germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal ca
## Abstract Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is characterized by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes; however, variation in disease expression suggests that there are potential modifying factors. Polymorphisms of the __HFE__ gene, which cause the iron overload disorder
## Abstract Aurora‐A kinase is considered a potential cancer susceptibility gene that encodes a centrosome‐associated, cell cycle‐regulated serine/threonine kinase. We studied two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the coding region of Aurora‐A, 91T‐to‐A (F31I) and 169G‐to‐A (V57I). We studie
Conflicting data exist on the prognosis of hereditary colorectal cancer. HNPCC patients, in particular, are often reported to have a better survival. We examined 2,340 colorectal-cancer patients treated in our Institution: 144 HNPCC patients (Amsterdam Criteria), 161 FAP patients and 2,035 patients
