Summary

This study aimed to see if certain genes that affect bleeding can cause a stool test to show blood when the bowel is actually healthy. Researchers planned to compare genetic markers in people with a false-positive test to those with a normal test. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
