Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that chromosome 8q24.21 is linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on studies involving both genome-wide associations and specific gene candidates.
- A study involving over 5,400 individuals (2,713 CRC patients and 2,718 controls) identified significant associations with two SNPs (rs10505477 and rs6983267), showing an odds ratio of 1.50 for susceptibility to CRC.
- The analysis highlighted a specific 17 kb genetic region as a key area of interest for CRC risk, particularly in tumors that are microsatellite instability-stable, where the odds ratio increased to 1.71.
