Genetic variation at 11q23.1 confers colorectal cancer risk by dysregulation of colonic tuft cell transcriptional activator POU2AF2
Vidya Rajasekaran, Bradley T. Harris, Ruby Tamara Osborn…·Susan Mary Farrington
This study identifies rs3087967 as the causal variant at 11q23.1 that increases colorectal cancer risk by dysregulating POU2AF2, a key activator of tuft cell transcription.

Transcriptional dynamics of colorectal cancer risk associated variation at 11q23.1 are correlated with tuft cell abundance and marker expression in silico
Bradley T. Harris, Vidya Rajasekaran, James Peter Blackmur…·Susan Mary Farrington
The paper investigates the relationship between 11q23.1 eQTL targets and tuft cell abundance using scRNA-seq data, finding a correlation between gene expression and cluster-specific tuft cell markers.

Oral Vitamin D supplementation induces transcriptomic changes in rectal mucosa that are consistent with anti-tumour effects.
Peter G Vaughan-Shaw, Graeme R. Grimes, James Peter Blackmur…·Malcolm G. Dunlop
This study shows oral vitamin D supplementation changes rectal mucosa gene expression patterns linked to anti-tumor effects, with blood biomarkers HIPK2 and PPP1CC identifying responders.
