Summary

This study aimed to find out if certain genes that affect bleeding can cause a false positive result on a stool test used to screen for colon cancer. Researchers planned to compare genetic markers in people who had a high test result but a normal colonoscopy with those who had normal results. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no conclusions were reached.
