Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease with an estimated heritability of approximately 35%. However, known CRC-related common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can only explain ~0.65% of the heritability. This "missing heritability" may be explained partially by rare copy number variants (CNVs). In this study, we performed a genome-wide scan using Illumina Human-Omni Express BeadChip, 694 sporadic CRC...
