Germline haploinsufficiency for the base excision repair gene MUTYH causes mutational signature SBS18 in multiple tumour types, specifically leading to an increased risk of colorectal cancer
Kitty Sherwood, Juan J. Fernandez-Tajes, Güler Gül…·Ian P.M. Tomlinson
This study shows that germline MUTYH haploinsufficiency increases mutational signature SBS18 and CRC risk, but not other cancers, due to oxidative DNA damage in the colorectum.

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.
