  ABSTRACT: Background The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC; patients < 50 years old) has been rising rapidly, whereas the EOCRC genetic susceptibility remains incompletely investigated. Here, we aimed to systematically identify specific susceptible genetic variants for EOCRC. Methods Two parallel GWASs were conducted in 17,789 CRC cases (including 1490 EOCRC cases) and 19,951 healthy controls. A polygenic risk score (PRS) model was built based on identified EOCRC-specific susceptibility variants by using the UK Biobank cohort. We also interpreted the potential biological mechanisms of the prioritized risk variant. Results We identified 49 independent susceptibility loci that were significantly associated with the susceptibility to EOCRC and the diagnosed age of CRC (both P
