[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS oB998R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. To comprehensively evaluate the impact of recently identified colorectal cancer (CRC) variants at 1 q41,3q26.2,8q23.3,8q24.21,10p14,11q23.1,12q13.13,14q22.2,15q13.3,16q22.1,18q21.1,19q13.11,20p12.3, and 20q13.33 on risk and CRC phenotype, the authors analyzed 8,878 cases and 6,051 controls from the United Kingdom ascertained in 1999-2007. The impact of variants on the familial CRC risk was enumerated from age-sex-and calendar-specific CRC rates in the 50,924 first-degree relatives of cases. Each of the 14 susceptibility loci independently influences CRC with the risk increasing with increasing number of risk alleles carried (per allele odds ratio =1.13 ; P =2.99 x 10-58) and, for those within the upper quintile, there is a 2.3-fold increased risk. In first-degree relatives of cases with < =17,18-21, and > =22 risk alleles, standardized incidence ratios were 1.76,2.08, and 2.25, respectively. Although the discriminatory attributes of the 14 CRC susceptibility loci for individual risk prediction are poor (area under the curve =0.58), they may allow subgroups of the population at different CRC risks to be distinguished.
