Abstract To identify genetic variants that contribute to colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility, we performed a meta-analysis of two genome-wide association studies in 2,627 cases and 3,797 controls of Japanese ancestry and 1,894 cases and 4,703 controls of African ancestry, followed by a replication of genome-wide statistically significant associations (P < 5E-8) in 16,823 cases and 18,211 controls of European ancestry. This study revealed a new pan-ethnic CRC risk locus at 10q25 (rs12241008, intronic to VTI1A; P=1.5E-9), providing additional insight into the etiology of CRC and highlighting the value of association mapping in diverse populations.
