Genetic Variants Associated with Colorectal Adenoma Susceptibility
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-04-14)
Background
Common low-penetrance genetic variants have been consistently associated with colorectal cancer risk.
Aim
To determine if these genetic variants are associated also with adenoma susceptibility and may ...
A colorectal cancer genome-wide association study in a Spanish cohort identifies two variants associated with colorectal cancer risk at 1p33 and 8p12
(BioMed Central, 2013-01)
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a disease of complex aetiology, with much of the expected inherited risk being due to several common low risk variants. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified 20 CRC ...
