Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of common and rare genetic risk variants for colorectal cancer

Jeroen R. Huyghe, +224 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide association analyses based on whole-genome sequencing and imputation identify 40 new risk variants for colorectal cancer, including a strongly protective low-frequency variant at CHD1 and loci implicating signaling and immune function in disease etiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Modeling of Polygenic Risk Score in Colorectal Cancer Risk.

Minta Thomas, +102 more
TL;DR: Different approaches to generating predictive polygenic risk scores (PRS) from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are derived and compared, and the developed PRS offers a way for risk-stratified CRC screening and other targeted interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cumulative Burden of Colorectal Cancer Associated Genetic Variants Is More Strongly Associated With Early-Onset vs Late-Onset Cancer

Alexi N. Archambault, +153 more
- 01 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: In an analysis of associations with CRC per standard deviation of PRS, the cumulative burden of CRC-associated common genetic variants to associate with early-onset cancer, and to be more strongly associated with early toonset than late-ONSet cancer-particularly in the absence of CRC family history is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of 16 studies of the association of alcohol with colorectal cancer.

Sarah McNabb, +53 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combined analysis of 16 studies of colorectal cancer was conducted to examine the shape of the alcohol-CRC association, investigate potential effect modifiers of the association, and examine differential effects of alcohol consumption by cancer anatomic site and stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variant predictors of gene expression provide new insight into risk of colorectal cancer.

Stephanie A. Bien, +150 more
- 28 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: PendiXcan as mentioned in this paper uses cis-regulatory variant predictors to impute expression and perform gene-level association tests in GWAS without directly measured transcriptomes, finding statistically significant associations using colon transcriptome models with TRIM4 and PYGL.
