SNP single-nucleotide polymorphism, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval

aMapped genes were based on the NCBI dbSNP

bA1 and A2 were respectively designated as risk/effect and reference allele based on the literature

cLogistic regression model based on case-only design using individual SNPs based on additive model and dichotomized environmental factors adjusted age, sex, family history of colorectal cancer, history of DM, regular exercise, and dairy consumption

dLogistic regression model based on case-control design using interaction terms including individual SNPs based on additive model and dichotomized environmental facators adjusted age, sex, family history of colorectal cancer, history of DM, regular exercise, and dairy consumption

eDietary factor values were adjusted for total energy intake using the residual method
