VTI1A and neoplasm: Intriguingly recent GWAS have identified associations between the VTI1A SNPs rs7086803 and lung cancer22 and between rs12241008 and colorectal cancer23; rs7086803 and rs12241008 are not correlated with each other (r2=0.22, D′=0.72) and are also not correlated with rs11196067 (r2=0.03/0.00 D′ =1.00/0.22, respectively), suggesting the existence of multiple risk loci within the region with different tumour specificities.
