Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several loci that confer an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). We studied the role of the 8q24.21 (rs6983267), 18q21.1 (rs12953717), 15q13.3 (rs4779584), 11q23.1 (rs3802842), 8q23.3 (rs16892766), and 10p14 () risk variants in a series of 995 Dutch CRC cases and 1340 controls. The CRC cases were selected on basis of having a family history of...
