Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There are known disparities in incidence and outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC) by race and ethnicity. Some of these disparities may be mediated by molecular changes in tumors that occur at different rates across populations. Genetic ancestry is a measure complementary to race and ethnicity that can overcome missing data issues and better capture genetic similarity in admixed populations. We aimed to...
