Susceptibility transcription factors (TF) whose DNA bindings are altered by genetic variants regulating colorectal cancer (CRC) risk genes remain poorly defined. Using generalized linear mixed models, we analyze 218 TF ChIP-Seq datasets alongside GWAS data from 100,204 CRC cases and 154,587 controls of East Asian and European ancestries. We identify 51 TFs and TF-cofactor interactions, including VDR-cofactors, as key regulators of CRC risk. Integrating these TF insights with transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), we further evaluate associations between genetically predicted gene expression, alternative splicing, and alternative polyadenylation with CRC risk, using RNA-seq data from 364 Asian-ancestry and 707 European-ancestry individuals. Multi-ancestry TWAS identify 222 risk genes, including 95 novel genes and 48 potentially druggable targets. Single-cell analysis provides additional functional evidence supporting ~45% of these genes, and experimental validation confirms oncogenic roles for RHPN2, IRS2, and TXN. Our findings elucidate key TF-gene regulatory networks and uncover novel CRC risk genes.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
