| Summary |
In the majority of colorectal cancers (CRC) under clinical suspicion for a hereditary cause, the disease-causing genetic factors are still to be discovered. In order to identify such genetic factors we stringently selected a discovery cohort of 41 CRC index patients with microsatellite-stable tumors. All patients were below 40 years of age at diagnosis and/or exhibited an overt family history. We employed genome-wide copy number profiling using high-resolution SNP-based array CGH on germline DNA, which resulted in the identification of novel copy number variants (CNVs) in 6 patients (15%) encompassing, among others, the cadherin gene CDH18, the bone morphogenetic protein antagonist family gene GREM1, and the breakpoint cluster region gene BCR. In addition, two genomic deletions were encountered encompassing two microRNA genes, hsa-mir-491/KIAA1797 and hsa-mir-646/AK309218. None of these CNVs has previously been reported in relation to CRC predisposition in humans, nor were they encountered in large control cohorts (>1,600 unaffected individuals). Since several of these newly identified candidate genes may be functionally linked to CRC development, our results illustrate the potential of this approach for the identification of novel candidate genes involved in CRC predisposition.
Copy number detection was performed using CNAG2.0 software for 250k SNP arrays and using the Affymetrix Genotyping Console v2.1 software for SNP 6.0 arrays, Reference genomes are included in this data set.

| Overall design |
Germline genomic DNA from 41 patients with early-onset microsatellite stable colorectal cancer was hybridized on Affymetrix Nsp/6.0 SNP-based arrays according to manufacturer's procedures.
