Abstract excerpt
A double primary colorectal cancer (CRC) in a familial setting signals a high risk of CRC. In order to identify novel CRC susceptibility genes, we whole-exome sequenced germline DNA from nine persons with a double primary CRC and a family history of CRC. The detected variants were processed by bioinformatics filtering and prioritization, including STRING protein-protein interaction and pathway analysis. A total...
