Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) have identified a number of common variants associated with modest risk, including rs3802842 at chromosome 11q23.1. Several genes map to this region but rs3802842 does not map to any known transcribed or regulatory sequences. We reasoned, therefore, that rs3802842 is not the functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), but is in linkage disequilibrium...
