Table 2.

Colorectal cancer associations stratified by genotypes of rs2300985 in the 10q24.2/COX15 region and by alcohol consumption. A) Stratified associations for rs2300985 genotypes with colorectal cancer within alcohol consumption categories. B) Joint associations for rs2300985 genotypes and alcohol consumption with colorectal cancer across when comparing to light-to-moderate drinkers with the GG genotype.
