Japanese genome‐wide association study identifies a significant colorectal cancer susceptibility locus at chromosome 10p14

Abstract: Genome‐wide association studies are a powerful tool for searching for disease susceptibility loci. Several studies identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) connected intimately to the onset of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been published, but there are few reports of genome‐wide association studies in Japan. To identify genetic variants that modify the risk of CRC oncogenesis, especially in the Japanese population, we performed a multi‐stage genome‐wide association study using a large number of samples… Show more

“…The striking disparity in the global incidence of CRC reflects the strong impact of lifestyle factors on the occurrence of this cancer (4). Moreover, variations in genetic background between different populations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms in certain genes, have been hypothesized to be associated with CRC genesis (57). CRC incidence and mortality rates have been stabilizing or decreasing in highly developed countries through the enormous efforts over the last decades (8).…”

“…Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of tumor‐associated morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise . Despite recent advances in therapeutic approaches, including chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy, relapse is frequently found among patients with CRC, particularly for those with advanced disease …”
