Abstract excerpt
Risk of both colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC) is considered to be heritable with mounting evidence for their genetic susceptibility. However, it remains unknown whether a shared genetic background is underlying these two cancers. A total of ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with digestive system cancers risk were selected from previous genome-wide association studies. All SNPs...
