Genome-wide association scan identifies a colorectal cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 8q24

TL;DR: Using a multistage genetic association approach comprising 7,480 affected individuals and 7,779 controls, markers in chromosomal region 8q24 associated with colorectal cancer were identified and this locus has been implicated in prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association scan identifies a colorectal cancer susceptibility locus on 11q23 and replicates risk loci at 8q24 and 18q21.

TL;DR: Findings extend the understanding of the role of common genetic variation in CRC etiology by identifying a previously unreported association, rs3802842 on 11q23, and carrying all six possible risk alleles yielded OR = 2.6 (95% CI = 1.75–3.89) for CRC.

TL;DR: Genetic data provide further evidence for the 'common-disease common-variant' model of CRC predisposition and identify two previously unreported associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abundant pleiotropy in human complex diseases and traits.

TL;DR: It is already clear that pleiotropy is a common property of genes and SNPs associated with disease traits, and this will have implications for identification of molecular targets for drug development, future genetic risk-profiling, and classification of diseases.
