Genome-Wide Association and Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies Identify Novel Susceptibility Genes Contributing to Colorectal Cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancers diagnosed worldwide. Although genome-wide association studies have effectively identified the genetic basis of CRC, there is still unexplained variability in genetic risk. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) integrate summary statistics from CRC genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with gene expression data to prioritize these GWAS...
