Effects of common genetic variants associated with colorectal cancer risk on survival outcomes after diagnosis: A large population‐based cohort study

Genome‐wide association studies have thus far identified 130 genetic variants linked to colorectal cancer (CRC) risk ( r 2 < 0.2). Given their implication in disease causation, and thus plausible biologically effects on cancer‐relevant biological pathways, we investigated whether these variants are associated with CRC prognosis and also whether they might provide predictive value for survival outcome. We conducted the analysis in a...
