The more from East-Asian, the better: risk prediction of colorectal cancer risk by GWAS-identified SNPs among Japanese
AssociationN=2,768Makiko Abe et al.(2017)· Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

This case-control study in Japanese population evaluated CRC risk prediction models using SNPs identified in European and East Asian GWAS. An 11-SNP model combining 6 European-identified SNPs (rs6983267, rs4779584, rs4444235, rs9929218, rs10936599, rs16969681) with 5 East Asian-identified SNPs (rs704017, rs11196172, rs10774214, rs647161, rs2423279) showed significantly improved discrimination capacity compared to a 6-SNP model alone (derivation AUC 0.6392 vs 0.6125, P=0.0039; replication AUC 0.5695 vs 0.5310, P=0.0018), with cumulative risk at age 80 estimated at 13% in high-risk versus 6% in low-risk genetic groups.

About TCF7L2

This gene encodes a high mobility group (HMG) box-containing transcription factor that plays a key role in the Wnt signaling pathway. The protein has been implicated in blood glucose homeostasis. Genetic variants of this gene are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Several transcript variants encoding multiple different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
