They identified LRP6 and PTPN12 as novel candidate genes for CRC susceptibility. (interactive-biosoftware.com)
The finding shows that environmental exposures can be used to uncover novel candidate genes in complex phenotypes. (pnas.org)
The researchers thus shed light to a complex disease by suggesting novel candidate genes as well as presenting a new method for analyzing a trait based on a continuous variable (in GWAS). (scilifelab.se)
