news rs4648261 was linked with a reduction in colorectal cancer risk of between 40 to 68 percent. Furthermore, characterizing patients by two SNPs in COX2 suggested that only a subset of patients would derive benefit from NSAID use.
The article notes a paper from AE. Coghill, C. Ulrich where a variety of COX2 genes PTGS-1 variants were associated with CRC survival. One, G>A intron 9 (rs1213266), was associated with ~50% lower CRC mortality (HRAA/AG vs. GG:0.48; 95% CI 0.25-0.93). Three variants, including L237M, resulted in significantly elevated CRC mortality risk, with hazard ratios ranging from approximately 1.5-2.0. Two variants in IkappaBKbeta, including R526Q, were significantly associated with CRC survival.
