After adjustment for clinical covariates, one common SNP that locates in an intron of WBP11 (rs7314075) was significantly associated with the risk of death from colorectal cancer under both dominant (HR = 3.36; P‐value = 3.27 × 10−08) and additive (HR = 2.65; P‐value = 3.24 × 10−08) genetic models (Table 2). The gene discussed is WBP11; the disease is colorectal cancer.
