Abbreviations: tagSNP, tagging single nucleotide polymorphism; OR, odds ratio; 95%CI, 95% confidence interval.

1

Recessive model is shown where indicated; dominant is model shown where indicated and for MAFs<0.10; both in bolded font.

2

Minor allele frequency in combined colon and rectal study controls, non-Hispanic whites.

3

Adjusted for age, sex, race, study center, BMI, recent aspirin/NSAID use, cigarette smoking status, and first-degree family history of colorectal cancer.

4

P for linear trend used in additive models; p for association used in dominant or recessive models.
