This project investigates genetic factors contributing to colorectal cancer risk by conducting a genome-wide association study in a diverse population. It aims to identify specific genetic variants that increase cancer susceptibility and develop a predictive panel for risk assessment in the general population.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in both sexes, has relatively poor outcome and has no major avoidable risk factor.
Recent studies have shown that common inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase cancer risk.
We have shown CRC risk to be associated with SNPs on chromosomes 8q24.21, 15q14 and 8q21.
These variants account for <5% of the genetic risk of CRC, but will be very important when their effects are added to those of other, as-yet undetected CRC SNPs. A few genome-wide…
