HMGCR and cancer: The association of variants in the HMGCR gene region with overall cancer remained broadly similar when restricting outcomes to the 48,674 individuals who had one of the 22 site-specific cancers (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.08–1.54, p=0.005) and when excluding outcomes that were self-reported only (70,734 remaining cases, OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.12–1.52, p=0.0007).
