ABSTRACT=<sec><title>Background</title><p>Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant tumor in the world. The morbidity and mortality rates in Western countries have decreased, but they are still on the rise in China. <italic>C10orf90</italic> is associated with a variety of cancers, but the correlation between <italic>C10orf90</italic> and CRC is not yet known.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>A total of 1,339 subjects were randomly enrolled in our study. After extracting their DNA, three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of <italic>C10orf90</italic> were genotyped to analyze the potential relationship between these variants and CRC risk. PLINK software packages (version 1.07) were used to evaluate multiple genetic models by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The best SNP–SNP interaction model was defined by the multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p><italic>C10orf90</italic> rs12412320 was significantly associated with CRC risk (<italic>p</italic> = 0.006) and might be associated with the lower CRC risk (OR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.65–0.93). The relationship of rs12412320 with lower CRC risk was found in people aged &gt;60 years and ≤60 years, women, non-smokers, or non-drinkers. Rs11245008 in people aged ≤60 years and rs11245007 among men had a higher CRC susceptibility. Rs12412320 was related to the lower risk of advanced stages (III/IV stage), while rs11245007 might be associated with the higher risk of advanced stages (III/IV stage). Moreover, rs12412320 had the most significant relationship with the susceptibility to rectal cancer.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>This study is the first to report between <italic>C10orf90</italic> gene polymorphisms and CRC risk in Chinese people, which suggests that <italic>C10orf90</italic> rs12412320 might play a crucial role in preventing CRC occurrence.</p></sec>
