R194W and R399Q Polymorphisms and Colorectal Cancer Risk in a Northeastern Mexican Population.

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.

Association of the rs8720 and rs12587 Gene Variants with Colorectal Cancer in a Mexican Population and Their Analysis In Silico.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge and one of the top 10 cancers in Mexico. Lifestyle and genetic factors influence CRC development, prognosis, and therapeutic response; identifying risk factors, such as the genes involved, is critical to understanding its behavior, mechanisms, and prognosis. The association between gene variants (rs8720 and rs12587) and CRC in the Mexican population was analyzed.

A novel mutation in the TSC2 gene protects against colorectal cancer in the Mexican population.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease due to the large number of factors that influence its development, including variants in tumor suppressor genes.

Objective: To estimate allelic and genotypic frequencies of c.3915G>A and c.

Association of the Polymorphism with Obesity in Mexican Women with High Native American Ancestry.

The gene has been associated with obesity; this study aimed to determine the association between L- and S-alleles at the polymorphism with obesity in indigenous Mexican populations. A total of 362 individuals, 289 belonging to eight Native American (NA) groups; 40 Mexican mestizos; and 33 Caucasian Mennonites were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. High (≥90%) and low (<90%) NA ancestry was molecularly determined.

Association of the MTHFR 677C>T Polymorphism with Obesity and Biochemical Variables in a Young Population of Mexico.

Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase () gene polymorphisms have been associated with overweight people and obesity. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship of the 677C>T polymorphism with obesity and biochemical variables in young individuals of Mexico.

Methods: A total of 316 young individuals were included in the study, 172 with normal weight (NW) and 144 with over weight/obesity.
