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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies four new susceptibility loci for colorectal cancer

TL;DR: Four previously unreported CRC risk loci are identified at 14q22.2, highlighting the value of large sample series for discovery and follow-up of genetic variants contributing to the etiology of CRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Identification and Survival of Carriers of Mutations in DNA Mismatch-Repair Genes in Colon Cancer

TL;DR: A two-stage model by multivariate logistic regression was developed and validated and was robust among a wide range of cutoff probabilities and was superior to that of the Bethesda and Amsterdam criteria for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
