Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified multiple susceptibility loci of colorectal cancer (CRC), however, causative polymorphisms have not been fully elucidated. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a recently discovered class of non-protein coding RNAs that involved in a wide variety of biological processes. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lncRNA may associate with...
