*1 Crude conditional logistic regression model.

*2 Adjusted for age as continuous variable, drinking (non, low, moderate, heavy, and unknown), smoking (non, moderate, heavy, unknwon), BMI (< 22.5, < 25, < 27.5, 27.5-, unknown), folate in tertile (T1, T2, T3, and unknown), total energy intake, family history of colorectal cancer, average recreational exercise (none, < 0.5 hour/day, 0.5-hour/day) in conditional logisitic regression.

*3 MAF indicates minor allele frequency.

*4 UK indicates the subjects whose genotyping was unsuccessful.
