ATM and colorectal cancer: A hospital-based case-control study, including 1,121 cases and 1,056 controls was conducted to evaluate the association between eight selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs35514263 in ATR; rs492510, rs558351 in CHKE1; rs189037 in ATM; rs2236141, rs5762748, rs2236142 and rs9620817 in CHEK2) in ATR-CHEK1 and ATM-CHEK2 pathways and the risk of colorectal cancer in a Chinese population by using TaqMan method.
