Abstract excerpt
Several genome wide association studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 15q13.3 associated with CRC risk. To identify functional variant(s) underlying this association, we investigated SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with the risk-associated SNP rs4779584 that overlapped regulatory regions/enhancer elements characterized in colon-related tissues and...
