SNP variants associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) correlate with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II expression.

ABSTRACT: Large consortia efforts and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked a number of genetic variants within the 6p21 chromosomal region to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Complementing these efforts, we genotyped previously reported SNPs in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I (rs6457327) and class II (rs9271100, rs2647012 and rs10484561) regions in a total of 1,145 subjects (567 NHL cases and 578 healthy controls) from two major ethnic groups in Malaysia, the Malays and the Chinese. We identified a NHL-associated (PNHL_add?=?0.0008; ORNHL_add?=?0.54; 95% CI?=?0.37-0.77) and B-cell associated (PBcell_add?=?0.0007; ORBcell_add?=?0.51; 95% CI?=?0.35-0.76) SNP rs2647012 in the Malaysian Malays. In silico cis-eQTL analysis of rs2647012 suggests potential regulatory function of nearby HLA class II molecules. Minor allele rs2647012-T is linked to higher expression of HLA-DQB1, rendering a protective effect to NHL risk. Our findings suggest that the HLA class II region plays an important role in NHL etiology.

Project description:ImportanceStudies focusing on genetic susceptibility of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are limited.ObjectivesTo identify genetic variants associated with childhood-onset HL vs adult-onset HL.Design, setting, and participantsThis genetic association study was performed with 3 cohorts: the St Jude Lifetime Cohort Study (SJLIFE), initiated in 2007 with ongoing follow-up, and the original and expansion cohorts of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS), initiated in the 1990s with ongoing follow-up. Results of these genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were combined via meta-analysis. Data were analyzed from June 2021 to June 2022.Main outcomes and measuresChildhood HL was the focused outcome. Single-nucleotide variant (SNV, formerly single-nucleotide polymorphism) array genotyping and imputation were conducted for the CCSS original cohort, and whole-genome sequencing was performed for the SJLIFE and CCSS expansion cohort.ResultsA total of 1286 HL cases (mean diagnosis [SD] age, 14.6 [3.9] years), 6193 non-HL childhood cancer cases, and 369 noncancer controls, all of European ancestry, were included in the analysis. Using step-wise conditional logistic regression, the odds ratios (ORs) for each of the 3 independent SNVs identified in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus were 1.80 (95% CI, 1.59-2.03; P = 2.14 × 10-21) for rs28383311, 1.53 (95% CI, 1.37-1.70; P = 2.05 × 10-14) for rs3129198, and 1.51 (95% CI, 1.35-1.69; P = 6.21 × 10-13) for rs3129890. Further HLA imputation revealed 9 alleles and 55 amino acid changes that potentially conferred HL susceptibility. In addition, 5 non-HLA loci were identified: (1) rs1432297 (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.18-1.41; P = 2.5 × 10-8; r2 = 0.55; D' = 0.75 with previously reported rs1432295, REL); (2) rs2757647 (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.42; P = 3.5 × 10-8; r2 = 0.59; D' = 0.83 with previously reported rs6928977, AHI1); (3) rs13279159 (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.20-1.47; P = 1.7 × 10-8; r2 = 0.75; D' = 1.00 with previously reported rs2019960, PVT1); (4) rs3824662 (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.33-1.73; P = 3.9 × 10-10; r2 = 0.91; D' = 1.00 with previously reported rs3781093, GATA3); and (5) rs117953624 (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.56-2.51; P = 1.5 × 10-8; minor allele frequency, 0.02), a novel uncommon SNV mapped to PDGFD. Twelve of 18 previously reported genome-wide significant non-HLA SNVs (67%) were replicated with statistically significant results.Conclusions and relevanceIn this genetic association study, a predominantly common and potentially unique genetic etiology was found between childhood-onset and adulthood-onset HL.
