aP value is for main effect of SNP on colorectal adenoma and cancer risk (P-values not corrected for multiple testing). Adjusted for age, sex and ethnicity and assuming a log-additive model.

bP value is for a test for interaction using the likelihood ratio test comparing models with and without the cross-product of SNP for the given gene and the median of the categories of meat mutagen intake. P-values not corrected for multiple testing. Adjusted for age, sex and ethnicity and assuming a dominant model.

cSNP located within 10kb downstream of EPS8L3.

dSNP located within 10kb downstream of TMEM63A.

eSNP located within 10kb upstream of LEFTY3.

*statistically significant at P<0.05 after adjustment for multiple testing
