aORs and P-values are adjusted for age at sample collection, race, gender, regular aspirin use, regular NSAIDs use, BMI, physical activity, history of CRC in a parent or sibling, smoking status, alcohol consumption, consumption of beef, pork or lamb as a main dish, energy-adjusted calcium and folate intake and type of sample (more details in the text).

bBH-adjusted P-value = 0.0371.

cLog-additive model, representing the OR for each additional G allele as compared with TT.
