In contrast, the rs2770150 is associated with colon cancer in women aged over 50 years and is closely linked with the decreased levels of female sex hormones during the post-menopausal period (OR = 0.188, CI: 0.074-0.48, P = <0.00084). rs10759932 and rs4986790 appear to have any association with colon cancer.
TLR4-D299G induces features of neoplastic progression in intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and associates with aggressive colon cancer in humans, implying a novel link between aberrant innate immunity and colonic cancerogenesis.
