Multi-trait GWAS identifies pleiotropic loci associated with colorectal cancer in East Asian populations
Our study identifies novel pleiotropic loci associated with CRC in East Asians, emphasizing the importance of population-specific genetic studies. The findings provide new insights into the genetic architecture of CRC and its shared pathways with other complex diseases.
