Previous genetic studies have examined the association of aspirin, NSAIDs, or both with colorectal cancer according to a limited number of candidate genes or pathways.6 - 10 Thus, to comprehensively identify common genetic markers that characterize individuals who may obtain differential benefit from aspirin and NSAIDs, we conducted a discovery - based, genome - wide analysis of gene × environment interactions between regular use of aspirin, NSAIDs, or both and single - nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in relation to risk of colorectal cancer.

The term «single - nucleotide polymorphism» (SNP) refers to a single base change in DNA sequence between two individuals.

A single DNA sequence is formed from a chain of four nucleotide bases and if some individuals in a population do not carry the same nucleotide at a specific position in the sequence, the variation is classified as an SNP.
