Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Knowledge of the mechanisms through which common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) modulate colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility is central to elucidating the molecular basis of this disease. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reveal noncoding SNPs influencing CRC susceptibility, yet their functional mechanisms, particularly through gene expression dysregulation, DNA methylation...
