TLDR
This article identified 42 loci (P < 5x10−8) associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) and expanded consortium efforts facilitating the discovery of these loci.
Abstract
Background: Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 42 loci (P < 5x10(-8)) associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Expanded consortium efforts facilitating the d ...

A genome-wide association study identifies pancreatic cancer susceptibility loci on chromosomes 13q22.1, 1q32.1 and 5p15.33

Gloria M. Petersen, +82 more
TL;DR: This study has identified common susceptibility loci for pancreatic cancer that warrant follow-up studies and identified eight SNPs that map to three loci on chromosomes 13q22.1, 1q32.1 and 5p15.1 that are associated with multiple cancers.

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.

Epidemiology and Mechanisms of the Increasing Incidence of Colon and Rectal Cancers in Young Adults

TL;DR: In contrast to the decreasing incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in older populations, the incidence has nearly doubled in younger adults since the early 1990s, and approximately 1 in 10 new diagnoses of CRC are now made in individuals 50 years or younger.

The genetics of human ageing

TL;DR: Bringing together different strands of genetic research, including results from recent large-scale genome-wide association studies relevant to human ageing, the authors highlight how genetics can further the authors' understanding of the underlying mechanisms of ageing.

Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility

Philip J. Law, +102 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported a genome-wide association analysis of 34,627 colorectal cancer cases and 71,379 controls of European ancestry that identifies SNPs at 31 new CRC risk loci.

The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans

Kristin G. Ardlie, +132 more
- 08 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: The landscape of gene expression across tissues is described, thousands of tissue-specific and shared regulatory expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) variants are cataloged, complex network relationships are described, and signals from genome-wide association studies explained by eQTLs are identified.
