Common genetic variation at human 8q23.3 is significantly associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. To elucidate the basis of this association we compared the frequency of common variants at 8q23.3 in 1,964 CRC cases and 2,081 healthy controls. Reporter gene studies showed that the single nucleotide polymorphism rs16888589 acts as an allele-specific transcriptional repressor. Chromosome conformation capture (3C) analysis demonstrated that the genomic region harboring rs16888589 interacts with the promoter of gene for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit H (EIF3H). We show that increased expression of EIF3H gene increases CRC growth and invasiveness thereby providing a biological mechanism for the 8q23.3 association. These data provide evidence for a functional basis for the non-coding risk variant rs16888589 at 8q23.3 and provides novel insight into the etiological basis of CRC. Common inherited variation on human chromosome 8q23 influences the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). To understand the basis of this association we have compared the frequency of common genetic variants at 8q23 in ∼2,000 CRC cases and ∼2,000 healthy controls. Functional analyses of variants strongly associated with CRC risk showed that the single nucleotide polymorphism rs16888589 underscores the 8q23.3 association. The region of the genome harboring rs16888589 increases the expression of the gene for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3, subunit H. We show that increased expression of this gene increases CRC growth thereby providing a biological mechanism for the 8q23.3 association. This finding is of particular importance in elucidating the etiological basis of CRC.
