All of Us is a US research cohort with linked electronic health record (EHR) and short-read whole-genome sequencing (srWGS) data. All of Us Research Program participants with srWGS and linked EHR data were included, except those with hereditary polyposis or Lynch syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Exposures<\/jats:title>\n Genetically inferred ancestry categories and principal components.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Any CRC was the primary outcome. Associations were evaluated using Fisher exact tests, cumulative incidence functions with Gray tests, cause-specific and Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard models, and pooled multivariable logistic regression. Prediction models used penalized least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Among 316\u202f624 participants (median [IQR] age, 56.3 [40.2-68.2] years; 172\u202f327 [54.4%] of European ancestry; 191\u202f705 female [61.2%]; 121\u202f585 male [38.8%]), 2914 (0.9%) developed CRC. European ancestry was associated with higher odds of CRC vs all other ancestries combined (odds ratio, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.39-1.62). The median age at CRC diagnosis was older in European (63.4 [53.9-71.2] years) than in American admixed-Latino, African, East Asian, and Other ancestry groups. In cause-specific hazard models on the attained-age scale, American admixed-Latino (hazard ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14-1.47) and East Asian (hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.06-1.94) ancestry had higher age-specific CRC hazard than European ancestry, with consistent findings on the subdistribution scale accounting for competing death. The multiethnic XGBoost model performed best (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve, 0.898; 95% CI, 0.882-0.912; precision-recall area under the curve, 0.338; 95% CI, 0.296-0.379) and was well calibrated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In this cohort study, genetic ancestry was associated with meaningful differences in CRC burden and age-specific risk. These findings suggest that a multiethnic XGBoost model may complement CRC screening as a risk-enrichment tool.<\/jats:p>\n
