Transcriptome-Wide Association Study (TWAS) to Identify Susceptibility Genes for Colorectal Cancer

This study included genotype data from 420 study participants of East Asian descent, along with RNA-seq (n=300) and small RNA seq data (n=400) generated from their colorectal tissue samples. We used the transcriptome data and genotype data from these individuals to build a prediction model for each coding gene and long non-coding RNA, and perform a Transcriptome-Wide Association Study (TWAS) of colorectal cancer in East Asian populations.]]>
