Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and subsequent functional interpretation have been used to identify susceptible genes and potential drug-repositioning candidates. This study aimed to identify genes associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and potential drug-repositioning candidates. METHODS: Patients with CRC at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH, discovery study) and Chonnam National...
