The more from East-Asian, the better: risk prediction of colorectal cancer risk by GWAS-identified SNPs among Japanese

ConclusionWe constructed a more efficient CRC risk prediction model with 11 SNPs including newly identified East Asian-based GWAS SNPs (rs704017, rs11196172, rs10774214, rs647161, rs2423279). Risk grouping based on 11 SNPs depicted lifetime difference of CRC risk. This might be useful for effective individualized prevention for East Asian.
