The <i>LGALS1</i> gene polymorphism is not associated with galectin-1 levels in tumor tissue and blood of colon cancer patients by Olga I. Urazova, Gleb V. Reyngardt, Yulia V. Kolobovnikova, Anna V. Kurnosenko, Vadim S. Poletika, Olga A. Vasil'yeva, Aleksandra V. Avgustinovich

“…Conclusion: The LGALS1 gene polymorphism is not associated with CRC, but in the carriers of the rs4820294 variant is related to clinical and morphological parameters of the tumor process. The intratumoral expression and blood levels of galectin-1 in CRC patients are not dependent on the genotype of rs4820293 and rs4820294 polymorphisms of the LGALS1 gene.…”
