Understanding of the human genome has identified the genetic predisposition to certain pathologies. Colorectal cancer is a frequent disease: up to 25% of the patients had familial history and 5% had an identified genetic mutation that was known to be the cause. The identification of other genetic changes or associations may improve the strategies for  prevention and treatment of this frequent pathology.
