Our results suggest that two of the sites are in linkage disequilibrium with each other and with GSTT1 genotype. Clinical parameters such as Duke's stage, differentiation, tumour location, survival, family history and presence of nodes were also investigated. We identified significant associations between GSTT2 polymorphisms and DukeĆ­s stage. This preliminary data suggests that polymorphism at GSTT2 may be significant in determining outcome in colorectal cancer.Keywords: Colorectal cancer; Duke's stage; GSTT2; PolymorphismGlutathione S-transferase GSTT2 polymorphism and outcome in patients with colorectal cancer20012015-12-12
