Single nucleotide variants in metastasis-related genes are associated with breast cancer risk, by lymph node involvement and estrogen receptor status, in women with European and African ancestry.

ABSTRACT: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pathways influencing lymph node (LN) metastasis and estrogen receptor (ER) status in breast cancer may partially explain inter-patient variability in prognosis. We examined 154 SNPs in 12 metastasis-related genes for associations with breast cancer risk, stratified by LN and ER status, in European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) women. Two-thousand six hundred and seventy-one women enrolled in the Women's Circle of Health Study were genotyped. Pathway analyses were conducted using the adaptive rank truncated product (ARTP) method, with pARTP ???0.10 as significant. Multi-allelic risk scores were created for the ARTP-significant gene(s). Single-SNP and risk score associations were modeled using logistic regression, with false discovery rate (FDR) P-value adjustment. Although single-SNP associations were not significant at pFDR ?

Project description:BackgroundLymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important factor for both treatment and prognosis of early gastric cancer (EGC). Current methods are insufficient to evaluate LNM in EGC due to suboptimal accuracy. Herein, we aim to identify methylation signatures for LNM of EGC, facilitate precision diagnosis, and guide treatment modalities.MethodsFor marker discovery, genome-wide methylation sequencing was performed in a cohort (marker discovery) using 47 fresh frozen (FF) tissue samples. The identified signatures were subsequently characterized for model development using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples by qPCR assay in a second cohort (model development cohort, n = 302, training set: n = 151, test set: n = 151). The performance of the established model was further validated using FFPE samples in a third cohorts (validation cohort, n = 130) and compared with image-based diagnostics, conventional clinicopathology-based model (conventional model), and current standard workups.ResultsFifty LNM-specific methylation signatures were identified de novo and technically validated. A derived 3-marker methylation model for LNM diagnosis was established that achieved an AUC of 0.87 and 0.88, corresponding to the specificity of 80.9% and 85.7%, sensitivity of 80.6% and 78.1%, and accuracy of 80.8% and 83.8% in the test set of model development cohort and validation cohort, respectively. Notably, this methylation model outperformed computed tomography (CT)-based imaging with a superior AUC (0.88 vs. 0.57, p < 0.0001) and individual clinicopathological features in the validation cohort. The model integrated with clinicopathological features demonstrated further enhanced AUCs of 0.89 in the same cohort. The 3-marker methylation model and integrated model reduced 39.4% and 41.5% overtreatment as compared to standard workups, respectively.ConclusionsA novel 3-marker methylation model was established and validated that shows diagnostic potential to identify LNM in EGC patients and thus reduce unnecessary gastrectomy in EGC.
