Selenoprotein genes nominally associated with CRC risk included several with limited or no prior evidence (DIO1, GPX6, SELENOM, SELENON, SELENOT, SELENOV) and those reported in several studies (GPX1, GPX4, SELENOF, TXNRD1, TXNRD2, TXNRD3) for an association with CRC (or specifically colon or rectal cancer) risk. This evidence concerns the gene DIO1 and colorectal carcinoma.
