Abbreviations: CI, confidence intervals; Combined, pooled P-value of initial GWAS cohort and validated cohort (excludes cohort which was not validated); NA, OR in the opposite direction to the initial GWAS; OR, odds ratio; Validation cetuximab status, validation in the COIN and COIN-B group with the alternative chemotherapy regimen but with the same cetuximab status; Validation chemo, validation in the COIN and COIN-B group with the same chemotherapy regimen but alternative cetuximab status.
