  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of kidney cancer identifies 63 susceptibility regions. - Nature genetics (2024) · Purdue MP, Dutta D, Machiela MJ, Gorman BR, Winter T, Okuhara D, Cleland S, Ferreiro-Iglesias A, Scheet P, Liu A, Wu C, Antwi SO, Larkin J, Zequi SC, Sun M, Hikino K, Hajiran A, Lawson KA, Cárcano F, Blanchet O, Shuch B, Nepple KG, Margue G, Sundi D, Diver WR, Folgueira MAAK, van Bokhoven A, Neffa F, Brown KM, Hofmann JN, Rhee J, Yeager M, Cole NR, Hicks BD, Manning MR, Hutchinson AA, Rothman N, Huang WY, Linehan WM, Lori A, Ferragu M, Zidane-Marinnes M, Serrano SV, Magnabosco WJ, Vilas A, Decia R, Carusso F, Graham LS, Anderson K, Bilen MA, Arciero C, Pellegrin I, Ricard S, Scelo G, Banks RE, Vasudev NS, Soomro N, Stewart GD, Adeyoju A, Bromage S, Hrouda D, Gibbons N, Patel P, Sullivan M, Protheroe A, Nugent FI, Fournier MJ, Zhang X, Martin LJ, Komisarenko M, Eisen T, Cunningham SA, Connolly DC, Uzzo RG, Zaridze D, Mukeria A, Holcatova I, Hornakova A, Foretova L, Janout V, Mates D, Jinga V, Rascu S, Mijuskovic M, Savic S, Milosavljevic S, Gaborieau V, Abedi-Ardekani B, McKay J, Johansson M, Phouthavongsy L, Hayman L, Li J, Lungu I, Bezerra SM, Souza AG, Sares CTG, Reis RB, Gallucci FP, Cordeiro MD, Pomerantz M, Lee GM, Freedman ML, Jeong A, Greenberg SE, Sanchez A, Thompson RH, Sharma V, Thiel DD, Ball CT, Abreu D, Lam ET, Nahas WC, Master VA, Patel AV, Bernhard JC, Freedman ND, Bigot P, Reis RM, Colli LM, Finelli A, Manley BJ, Terao C, Choueiri TK, Carraro DM, Houlston R, Eckel-Passow JE, Abbosh PH, Ganna A, Brennan P, Gu J, Chanock SJ · PubMed 38671320

    Here, in a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis of kidney cancer (29,020 cases and 835,670 controls), we identified 63 susceptibility regions (50 novel) containing 108 independent risk loci. In analyses stratified by subtype, 52 regions (78 loci) were associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 6 regions (7 loci) with papillary RCC. Notably, we report a variant common in African ancestry individuals ( rs7629500 ) in the 3' untranslated region of VHL, nearly tripling clear cell RCC risk (odds ratio 2.72, 95% confidence interval 2.23-3.30). In cis-expression quantitative trait locus analyses, 48 variants from 34 regions point toward 83 candidate genes. Enrichment of hypoxia-inducible factor-binding sites underscores the importance of hypoxia-related mechan

  • Whole exome sequencing analyses reveal novel genes in telomere length and their biomedical implications. - GeroScience (2024) · Liu WS, Wu BS, Yang L, Chen SD, Zhang YR, Deng YT, Wu XR, He XY, Yang J, Feng JF, Cheng W, Xu YM, Yu JT · PubMed 38837026

    Telomere length is a putative biomarker of aging and is associated with multiple age-related diseases. There are limited data on the landscape of rare genetic variations in telomere length. Here, we systematically characterize the rare variant associations with leukocyte telomere length (LTL) through exome-wide association study (ExWAS) among 390,231 individuals in the UK Biobank. We identified 18 robust rare-variant genes for LTL, most of which estimated effects on LTL were significant (> 0.2 standard deviation per allele). The biological functions of the rare-variant genes were associated with telomere maintenance and capping and several genes were specifically expressed in the testis. Three novel genes (ASXL1, CFAP58, and TET2) associated with LTL were identified. Phenotypic associati

  • Neural crest-derived tumor neuroblastoma and melanoma share 1p13.2 as susceptibility locus that shows a long-range interaction with the SLC16A1 gene. - Carcinogenesis (2020) · Avitabile M, Succoio M, Testori A, Cardinale A, Vaksman Z, Lasorsa VA, Cantalupo S, Esposito M, Cimmino F, Montella A, Formicola D, Koster J, Andreotti V, Ghiorzo P, Romano MF, Staibano S, Scalvenzi M, Ayala F, Hakonarson H, Corrias MV, Devoto M, Law MH, Iles MM, Brown K, Diskin S, Zambrano N, Iolascon A, Capasso M · PubMed 31605138

    Neuroblastoma (NB) and malignant cutaneous melanoma (CMM) are neural crest cells (NCC)-derived tumors and may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). We took a three-staged approach to conduct cross-disease meta-analysis of GWAS for NB and CMM (2101 NB cases and 4202 controls; 12 874 CMM cases and 23 203 controls) to identify shared loci. Findings were replicated in 1403 NB cases and 1403 controls of European ancestry and in 636 NB, 508 CMM cases and 2066 controls of Italian origin. We found a cross-association at locus 1p13.2 (rs2153977, odds ratio = 0.91, P = 5.36 × 10-8). We also detected a suggestive (P < 10-7) NB-CMM cross-association at 2q37.1 with opposite effect on cancer risk. Pathway analysis of 11

  • Global multi-ancestry genome-wide analyses identify genes and biological pathways associated with thyroid cancer and benign thyroid diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41644669

    ABSTRACT: Thyroid diseases are common and highly heritable. We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from 19 biobanks for five thyroid diseases: thyroid cancer (ThC), benign nodular goiter, Graves' disease, lymphocytic thyroiditis and primary hypothyroidism. We analyzed genetic association data from ~2.9 million genomes and identified 313 known and 570 new independent loci linked to thyroid diseases. We discovered genetic correlations between ThC, benign nodular goiter and autoimmune thyroid diseases (rg = 0.16-0.97). Telomere maintenance genes contributed to benign and malignant thyroid nodular disease risk, whereas cell cycle, DNA repair and damage response genes were associated with ThC. We propose a paradigm that explains genetic predisposition to benign

  • Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28604730

    ABSTRACT: Summary While several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of lung cancer heritability remains unexplained. Here, 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European descent were genotyped on the OncoArray and combined with existing data for an aggregated GWAS analysis of lung cancer on 29,266 patients and 56,450 controls. We identified 18 susceptibility loci achieving genome wide significance, including 10 novel loci. The novel loci highlighted the striking heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across lung cancer histological subtypes, with four loci associated with lung cancer overall and six with lung adenocarcinoma. Gene expression quantitative trait analysis (eQTL) in 1,425 normal lung tissues highlighted RNASET2, SECISBP2L and NRG1 as candidate genes. Other
