Identification of potential functional variants and genes at 18q21.1 associated with the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 160 susceptibility loci for colorectal cancer (CRC). The effects of these variants, particularly their mechanisms, however, remain unclear. In this study, a comprehensive functional annotation of CRC-related GWAS signals was firstly co...
