rs12953717 is one of 3 SNPs in the
SMAD7 gene associated with risk for
colorectal cancer, based on a large study (7,400+ cases) conducted in the UK. The odds ratios show an increased risk for the minor
rs12953717(T) allele; the OR for (T;T) homozygotes is 1.37 (CI: 1.25-1.5), and for (C;T) heterozygotes 1.11 (CI: 1.03-1.2), overall p=9x10
