Among non-ApoE4 carriers, 2–4 and >4 red meat servings/week were associated with developing MSS/L CRC (OR=1.51, 95% CI 1.10–2.07 and OR=1.80, 95% CI 1.30–2.48, respectively), whereas among ApoE4 allele carriers, four or more red meat servings/week were associated with MSI-H CRC (OR=4.62, 95% CI 1.20–17.77) when compared with the controls. The gene discussed is APOE; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
