Over the last decade, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several loci linked to NB susceptibility,12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 of which the LIM domain only 1 (LMO1) gene at 11p15.4 represents a promising candidate.14 LMO1 was recognized as neuroblastoma oncogene.14 It also acts as an oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC) and lung cancer. This evidence concerns the gene LMO1 and colorectal cancer.
