Polymorphisms in the Angiogenesis-Related Genes <i>EFNB2</i>, <i>MMP2 </i>and <i>JAG1</i> are Associated with Survival of Colorectal Cancer Patients

An individual’s inherited genetic variation may contribute to the ‘angiogenic switch’, which is essential for blood supply and tumor growth of microscopic and macroscopic tumors. Polymorphisms in angiogenesis-related genes potentially predispose to colorectal cancer (CRC) or affect the survival of C...
