Project description:The study was conducted to build a Polygenic risk scores (PRS) based on a reported set of 140 single nucleotide polymorphisms that were identified to be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Genotyping by OncoArray and Global Screening Array was performed using DNA extracted from blood samples collected at baseline of 187 participants who develop CRC and 176 randomly selected controls without diagnosis of CRC identified within 14 years of follow-up.
Project description:Genomic DNA was extracted from human islets using Dneasy Blood & Tissue Kit (QIAGEN) with RNase A treatment. 200-500ng DNA was genotyped using InfiniumOmni2-5-8v Genotyping BeadChips (Illumina).DNA was isolated from human islet cells from various donors. DNA was genotyped using Illumina Infinium whole-genome genotyping array. Genotypes were called with GenomeStudio (v.2.0.4) using default settings. Genotypes that passed quality filters (missing<0.05, minor allele frequency (MAF>0.01), non-ambiguous alleles defined by AT/GC variants with MAF>40%) were exported.
