Description
A genome wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 13,265 cancer cases (colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer) and 40,245 controls found this variant to be associated with colorectal cancer (OR = 1.10, P = 7.23 × 10−9). The authors speculated that since this polymorphism, a missense variant in the gene SH2B3, is also associated with haematological and autoimmune disorders, it might influence cancer risk through its role in the immune response.
