Figure 1 Forest plots of relationship between XRCC1 gene R399Q polymorphism and CRC in dominant model (QQ + RQ vs. RR). White diamond denotes the pooled OR. Black squares indicate the OR in each study, with square sizes inversely proportional to the standard error of the OR. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI.

Figure 2 Forest plots of relationship between XRCC1 gene R399Q polymorphism and CRC in recessive model (QQ vs. RR + RQ). White diamond denotes the pooled OR. Black squares indicate the OR in each study, with square sizes inversely proportional to the standard error of the OR. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI.

Figure 3 Forest plots of relationship between XRCC1 gene R399Q polymorphism and CRC in codominant model (Q vs. R). White diamond denotes the pooled OR. Black squares indicate the OR in each study, with square sizes inversely proportional to the standard error of the OR. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI.

Figure 4 Forest plots of relationship between XRCC1 gene R399Q polymorphism and CRC in homozygote model (QQ vs. RR). White diamond denotes the pooled OR. Black squares indicate the OR in each study, with square sizes inversely proportional to the standard error of the OR. Horizontal lines represent 95% CI.
