Popis: Abstract The incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) has been increasing in recent decades, but little is known about the gut microbiome of these patients. Most studies have focused on old-onset CRC (oCRC), and it remains unclear whether CRC signatures derived from old patients are valid in young patients. To address this, we assembled the largest yCRC gut metagenomes to date from two independent cohorts and found that the CRC microbiome had limited association with age across adulthood. Differential analysis revealed that well-known CRC-associated taxa, such as Clostridium symbiosum, Peptostreptococcus stomatis, Parvimonas micra and Hungatella hathewayi were significantly enriched (false discovery rate
