Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasingly diagnosed in individuals under 50 years of age, yet the underlying genetic predisposition remains largely unexplained, particularly in mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient cases. This study aimed to identify novel hereditary CRC susceptibility genes by integrating germline and tumour whole-exome sequencing (WES) with transcriptomic profiling across a cohort of early-onset CRC...
