The hMLH1 −93G>A Polymorphism and Risk of Ovarian Cancer in the Chinese Population

Open access

 In conclusion, the present study indicates that in the Chinese population, carriers of the -93AA and AG genotypes have increased risk of ovarian cancer compared with GG carriers. To the best of our knowledge, this study provided the first evidence that the -93G>A polymorphism in hMLH1 is associated with a significant risk of developing ovarian cancer in the Chinese population. Further independent population-based case-control studies are warranted to validate our results in larger sample sizes, as well as in different populations.
