When users enter a batch of SNP IDs, or enter a genetic region, a table (with chromosome ID, SNP ID, SNP genomic position, SNP alleles (A1: effect allele; A2: reference allele), Effect allele frequency (EAF), beta, standard error (SE) in two cohorts and associations of meta-analysis) will be built. Users can download the results by clicking the 'Download' button. Besides, users can select one SNP-survival pair and click the 'Plot' button, and the diagrams of KM plot will be provided to display the associations among NJCRC (East Asian ancestry) and UK Biobank (European ancestry) cohorts.
For example, patients with the SNP rs2742681 GT or TT genotypes have better survival than patients with rs2742681 GG genotype (P for log-rank test < 0.05).
When users enter sex, age, lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking status), clinical stage, grade, and genotypes of 287 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the 5-year survival can be predicted to evaluate whether the colorectal cancer patient is at high risk of death.
For example, with the 5-year survival in PLCO cohort as a reference (77.1%), the patient with a predicted survival of 98.5% is considered as low-risk of death.
Note: This clinical tool is developed preliminarily, with the need of additional validation and improvement in the future. The current results should be interpreted with caution.
