Phenome-wide association study identifies multiple traits associated with a polygenic risk score for colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Many factors, including environmental and genetic variables, contribute to Colorectal Cancer (CRC) risk. The genetic components of risk can be divided into monogenic and polygenic factors. Just as monogenic factors can increase risk for more than one condition, polygenic factors...
