Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified many risk loci associated with colorectal cancer. Strategies integrating biological data sets with GWAS results will provide insights into the roles of risk single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We performed expression quantitative trait locus-based analyses using the information provided in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Analysis of the cis-expression quantitative trait loci...
