Common genetic variation in ETV6 is associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility

Genome-wide association studies have been performed to identify genetic variants that are associated with susceptibility to colorectal cancer. Here, the authors expand on these studies and identify a variant that regulates the expression of ETV6 and find that over-expression of ETV6 blocks cell prol...
