cis-Expression QTL analysis of established colorectal cancer risk variants in colon tumors and adjacent normal tissue.

cis-Expression QTL analysis of established colorectal cancer risk variants in colon tumors and adjacent normal tissue.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 19 risk variants associated with colorectal cancer. As most of these risk variants reside outside the coding regions of genes, we conducted cis-expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) analyses to investigate possible regulatory functions o...
