AGER and colorectal carcinoma: Along similar lines, SNPs affecting TLR4 or AGER have been linked to an increased risk for prostate cancer (as determined in multiple studies collectively testing more than 1,000 patients and as many age-matched controls) (124, 210–212), ovarian cancer (as assessed in a study testing 190 patients and 210 controls) (202), breast carcinoma (as investigated in 509 patients and 504 healthy women) (197), CRC (as determined in a large cohort encompassing 2,309 patients and 2,915 healthy individuals) (121), and NSCLC (as tested in 562 patients and 764 controls) (201).
