Association of chromosome 8q variants with prostate cancer risk in Caucasian and Hispanic men.

ABSTRACT: Genotyping of a 615 kb region within 8q24 with 49 haplotype-tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 2109 samples (797 cases and 1312 controls) of two ethnic/racial groups found SNPs that are significantly associated with the risk for prostate cancer (PCa). The highest significance in Caucasian men was found for rs6983267; the AA genotype reduced the risk for PCa [odds ratio (OR) = 0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.35-0.65, P = 2.74 x 10(-6)]. This SNP also had a significant independent effect from other SNPs in the region in this group. In Hispanic men, rs7837328 and rs921146 showed independent effects (OR = 2.55, 95% CI = 1.51-4.31, P = 4.33 x 10(-4), OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.40-3.12, P = 3.13 x 10(-4), respectively). Significant synergist effects for increasing numbers of high-risk alleles were found in both ethnicities. Haplotype analysis revealed major haplotypes, containing the non-risk alleles, conferred protection against PCa. We found high linkage disequilibrium between significant SNPs within the region and SNPs within the CUB and Sushi Multiple Domains 1 gene (CSMD1), on the short arm of chromosome 8 in both ethnicities. These data suggest that multiple interacting SNPs within 8q24, as well as different regions on chromosome 8 far beyond this 8q24 candidate region, may confer increased risk of PCa. This is the first report to investigate the involvement of 8q24 variants in the susceptibility for PCa in Hispanic men.

Project description:ObjectiveTo validate six previously identified markers among men at increased risk of prostate cancer (African-American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer) enrolled in the Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment Program (PRAP), a prostate cancer screening study.Patients and methodsEligibility criteria for PRAP include age 35-69 years with a family history of prostate cancer, African-American ethnicity regardless of family history, and known BRCA gene mutations. The genome-wide association study markers assessed included rs2736098 (5p15.33), rs10993994 (10q11), rs10788160 (10q26), rs11067228 (12q24), rs4430796 (17q12) and rs17632542 (19q13.33). Genotyping methods included either the Taqman(®) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) or pyrosequencing. Linear regression models were used to evaluate the association between individual markers and log-transformed baseline PSA levels, while adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsA total of 707 participants (37% Caucasian, 63% African-American) with clinical and genotype data were included in the analysis. Rs10788160 (10q26) was strongly associated with PSA levels among Caucasian participants in the high-risk group (P < 0.01), with a 33.2% increase in PSA level with each A-allele carried. Furthermore, rs10993994 (10q11) was found to be associated with PSA level (P = 0.03) in Caucasian men in the high-risk group, with a 15% increase in PSA level with each T-allele carried. A PSA adjustment model based on allele carrier status at rs10788160 and rs10993994 was proposed, specific to high-risk Caucasian men.ConclusionsGenetic variation at 10q may be particularly important in personalizing the interpretation of PSA level for Caucasian men in the high-risk group. Such information may have clinical relevance in shared decision-making and individualized prostate cancer screening strategies for Caucasian men in the high-risk group, although further study is warranted.
