In addition, literature search showed that some of the genes that SNPs identified here-in were located in (e.g., LAMB3 [48,49]; SYNE3 [50]; HRAS [51,52]; DIAPH3 [53]; NLRP3 [54,55]); PEBP4 [56]; GABRG3 [57]; LGALS8 [58]; OPCML [59]; MYO18A [60]; HAUS6 [61,62]; HLX [63,64] and some of the genes that were linked to eQTLs identified here-in (e.g., HRAS [51,52]) were previously linked to colorectal cancer. This evidence concerns the gene HLX and colorectal cancer.
