Multivariable Cox regression analysis results for overall survival in the discovery and validation cohorts.

*<p>The multivariable Cox regression model assuming the co-dominant genetic model contained the <i>MTHFR</i> Glu429Ala, <i>ERCC5</i> His46His, <i>SERPINE1 −</i>675indelG, <i>GSTM1</i> gene deletion genotypes as well as sex, age, stage and MSI status as covariates.</p>**<p>Only the multivariable Cox regression analysis result for the <i>MTHFR</i> Glu429Ala polymorphism when adjusted for sex, age, stage and MSI status is shown (assuming the dominant genetic model). The complete multivariable models for the dominant genetic model can be found in <b>Tables S4</b> and <b>S6</b> in <b><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0061469#pone.0061469.s001" target="_blank">File S1</a></b> for the discovery and validation cohorts.</p>***<p>The multivariable Cox regression analysis result for the <i>MTHFR</i> Glu429Ala polymorphism when adjusted for sex, age, stage and MSI status is shown (assuming the recessive genetic model).
