Overall, no significant association between IRS2 rs1805097 polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk was observed (homozygote comparison: OR = 0.96, 95%CI 0.85–1.08, Pheterogeneity = 0.97; heterozygote comparison: OR = 0.91, 95%CI 0.73–1.13, Pheterogeneity<0.01; dominant model: OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.80–1.06, Pheterogeneity = 0.05; recessive model: OR = 1.02, 95%CI 0.91–1.14, Pheterogeneity = 0.60) (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene IRS2 and colorectal cancer.
