Genome-wide scan of the effect of common nsSNPs on colorectal cancer survival outcome

Background We conducted a genome-wide scan to identify non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) that might influence survival after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods We genotyped 7679 nsSNPs in 1939 Scottish patients from the Scottish Colorectal Cancer Study recruited soon after a CRC diagnosis an...

Description
Summary:Background We conducted a genome-wide scan to identify non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) that might influence survival after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods We genotyped 7679 nsSNPs in 1939 Scottish patients from the Scottish Colorectal Cancer Study recruited soon after a CRC diagnosis and prospectively followed for survival outcomes. All-cause and CRC-specific survival analyses were conducted using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for stage, age and sex for all cancer cases, after cancer type stratification and assuming additive and recessive models of inheritance. For all the SNPs that had a p -value
