Genetic study of Common Hereditary Bowel Cancers in Hispania and the Americas (CHIBCHA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common in both sexes, has relatively poor outcome and has no major avoidable risk factor. Recent studies have shown that common inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase cancer risk. We have shown CRC risk to be associated with SNPs on chromosomes 8q24.21, 15q14 and 8q21. These variants account for
