Approximately 90% of new cases and deaths occur in people of age 50 and older.[1] About 35% of the susceptibility to CRC is ascribed to genetic factors, while the remaining 65% is attributed to environmental factors such as obesity, physical activity, diet, smoking, and Type II diabetes (DM).[2] The effect of the lifestyle factors on CRC risk may be partially mediated by insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)/insulin pathway. Here, INS is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
