Additional file 3:

Chromosome 5 SNPs between 68 Mb and 80 Mb tested for association with colorectal cancer risk. The table shows genotype counts (nominally AA, AB, BB) in cases and controls, followed by allelic odds ratio, and P value under the allelic χ2 test (or Fisher's exact test for low cell counts).
