CRC patients with positive family history have a higher incidence of JCV T Ag, but this did not correlate with specific DNA repair gene mutations. We could not conclude that, on the background of genetic mutation in one of the DNA repair genes, JCV acts as the missing link in the chain of events leading to CRC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
