a Strategy 3: n (total) = 2,173; 924 discordant sibships; 953 cases of CRC, 1,220 controls (no CRC or polyps).

b Strategy 4: n (total) = 2,736; 968 discordant sibships; 1,233 cases of CRC or polyps, 1,503 controls (no CRC or polyps).

c Strategy 1: n (total) = 2,935; 1,186 discordant sibships; 1,237 cases of CRC, 1,698 controls (no CRC).

d Strategy 2: n (total) = 2,935; 1,186 discordant sibships; 1,237 cases of CRC, 1,698 controls (no CRC). Adjusted for 1) sex, age, and polyps detected prior to baseline or 2) sex, age, polyps detected prior to baseline, and at least 1 screening colonoscopy prior to baseline.
