Recurrent Coding Sequence Variation Explains Only A Small Fraction of the Genetic Architecture of Colorectal Cancer

Whilst common genetic variation in many non-coding genomic regulatory regions are known to impart risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), much of the heritability of CRC remains unexplained. To examine the role of re...

Glycosylation of plasma IgG in colorectal cancer prognosis

In this study we demonstrate the potential value of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation as a novel prognostic biomarker of colorectal cancer (CRC). We analysed plasma IgG glycans in 1229 CRC patients and corr...

Rare disruptive mutations and their contribution to the heritable risk of colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays a complex pattern of inheritance. It is postulated that much of the missing heritability of CRC is enshrined in high-impact rare alleles, which are mechanistically and clinical...

Mendelian randomisation analysis strongly implicates adiposity with risk of develo** colorectal cancer

Observational studies have associated adiposity with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, such studies do not establish a causal relationship. To minimise bias from confounding we performed a...

Correction: Corrigendum: Rare variants of large effect in BRCA2 and CHEK2 affect risk of lung cancer

Nat. Genet. 46, 736–741 (2014); published online 1 June 2014; corrected after print 23 January 2017 In the version of this article initially published, the name of author Florence Le Calvez-Kelm appeared incor...

Combining Asian and European genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer improves risk prediction across racial and ethnic populations

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have great potential to guide precision colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention by identifying those at higher risk to undertake targeted screening. However, current PRS using European a...

Fine-map** analysis including over 254,000 East Asian and European descendants identifies 136 putative colorectal cancer susceptibility genes

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 200 common genetic variants independently associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but the causal variants and target genes are mostly unkn...
