Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Its etiopathogenesis is complex, mainly influenced by genetic instability caused by the accumulation of mutations. The gene, which is involved in DNA repair, has been associated with CRC through the R194W (C194T) and R399Q (G399A) polymorphisms, but the results are inconsistent.

Objective: This study aimed to summarize the epidemiological and clinical features of thyroid function in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Civil Fray Antonio Alcalde Hospital in Mexico.

Patients And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that included 63 ICU patients with COVID-19 from August 2021 to December 2021. Thyroid function was evaluated through the TSH, T4, T3, and FT3 measures.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second cause of death by cancer around the world. Sporadic colorectal cancer is the most frequent (75%), and it is produced by the interaction of environmental, epigenetic, and genetic factors. The accumulation of single-nucleotide variants in genes associated with cell proliferation, DNA repair, and/or apoptosis could confer a risk to cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and one of the main causes of death around the world. Multiple lines of evidence have suggested the role of the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) family in CRC induction, including the low expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 2 (), which is an angiogenesis inhibitor and inflammatory modulator. Previous research suggests that CRHR2 expression in colonic intestinal cells can regulate migration, proliferation and apoptosis through the modulation of several pathways.
