SMAD7 rs4939827 variant contributes to colorectal cancer risk in Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study identified a common genetic variant rs4939827 at 18q21 in SMAD7 to be related with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk with OR=1.2 and P =7.80E-28. Until recently, several meta-analysis studies have been conducted, and reported significant association between rs4939827 and CRC risk. However none of these studies evaluated the potential association between rs4939827 and CRC risk in Chinese population. In this study, we evaluated this association by a meta-analysis using 12077 samples including 5816 CRC cases and 6261 controls. In the end, we identified the T allele of rs4939827 to be significantly related with an increase CRC risk (P=2.22E-05, OR=1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21) in Chinese population.

SMAD7 variant rs4939827 is associated with colorectal cancer risk in Croatian population.

Project description:Twenty common genetic variants have been associated with risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) in genome wide association studies to date. Since large differences between populations exist, generalisability of findings to any specific population needs to be confirmed.The aim of this study was to perform an association study between risk variants: rs10795668, rs16892766, rs3802842 and rs4939827 and CRC risk in Croatian population.An association study was performed on 320 colorectal cancer cases and 594 controls recruited in Croatia. We genotyped four variants previously associated with CRC: rs10795668, rs16892766, rs3802842 and rs4939827.SMAD7 variant rs4939827 (18q21.1) was significantly associated with CRC risk in Croatian population. C allele was associated with a decreased risk, odds ratio (OR): 0.70 (95% CI: 0.57-0.85, P=3.5E-04). Compared to TT homozygotes, risk was reduced by 34% in heterozygotes (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.47-0.92) and by 52% in CC homozygotes (OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.33-0.72).Our results show association of rs4939827 with colorectal cancer risk in Croatian population. The higher strength of the association in comparison to other studies suggests population-specific environmental or genetic factors may be modifying the association. More studies are needed to further describe role of rs4939827 in CRC. Likely reason for failure of replication for other 3 loci is inadequate study power.

Common genetic variant rs3802842 in 11q23 contributes to colorectal cancer risk in Chinese population.

Project description:A genome-wide association study identified a common genetic variant rs3802842 at 11q23 to be associated with CRC risk with OR=1.1 and P = 5.80E-10 in European population. In Chinese population, several genetic association studies have investigated the association between rs3802842 variant and CRC risk. However these studies reported both positive and negative association results. It is still necessary to evaluate a specific variant in a specific population, which would be informative to reveal the disease mechanism. Until recently, there is no a systemic study to evaluate the potential association between rs3802842 and CRC risk in Chinese population by a meta-analysis method. Here, we aim to evaluate this association in Chinese population by a meta-analysis method using 12077 samples including 5816 CRC cases and 6261 controls. We identified the T allele of rs3802842 to be significantly related with an increase CRC risk (P=2.22E-05, OR=1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21) in Chinese population.

The colorectal cancer risk at 18q21 is caused by a novel variant altering SMAD7 expression.

Project description:Recent genome-wide scans for colorectal cancer (CRC) have revealed the SMAD7 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7) gene as a locus associated with a modest, but highly significant increase in CRC risk. To identify the causal basis of the association between 18q21 variation and CRC, we resequenced the 17-kb region of linkage disequilibrium and evaluated all variants in 2532 CRC cases and 2607 controls. A novel C to G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at 44,703,563 bp was maximally associated with CRC risk (P = 5.98 x 10(-7); > or =1.5-fold more likely to be causal than other variants). Using transgenic assays in Xenopus laevis as a functional model, we demonstrate that the G risk allele leads to reduced reporter gene expression in the colorectum (P = 5.4 x 10(-3)). Electrophoretic mobility shift assays provided evidence for the role of Novel 1 in transcription factor binding. We propose that the novel SNP we have identified is the functional change leading to CRC predisposition through differential SMAD7 expression and, hence, aberrant TGF-beta signaling.

A missense variant in EZH2 is associated with colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks the fifth leading cause of cancer death in China. EZH2 is a member of Polycomb-group (PcG) family and associated with transcriptional repression and cancer development. In this study, we report the association between a missense variant in EZH2 and risk of CRC. Through a systematic selection of variants in EZH2, we identified rs2302427 in the exon region of EZH2 and genotyped this variant in 852 CRC patients and 1,303 healthy controls using Taqman genotyping assay. The association between this variant and CRC risk was calculated using logistic regression with adjustment of sex, age, smoking status and drinking status. The result showed that rs2302427 was significantly associated with CRC susceptibility under an additive model (P=0.0068). Compared with CC genotype carriers, CG genotype and GG genotype carriers were associated with risk of CRC with odds ratio being 0.78 (95% CI: 0.63-0.96, P=0.0198) and 0.54 (95% CI: 0.24-1.18, P=0.1224), respectively. When stratified by sex, age, smoking status or drinking status, significant associations were observed only in younger individuals (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.50-0.89, P=0.0067) or smokers (OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.48-0.88, P=0.0051). This study provides new insights into the personalized prevention of colorectal cancer.

Genome-wide association study identifies a new SMAD7 risk variant associated with colorectal cancer risk in East Asians.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been conducted primarily in European descendants. In a GWAS conducted in East Asians, we first analyzed approximately 1.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four studies with 1,773 CRC cases and 2,642 controls. We then selected 66 promising SNPs for replication and genotyped them in three independent studies with 3,612 cases and 3,523 controls. Five SNPs were further evaluated using data from four additional studies including up to 3,290 cases and 4,339 controls. SNP rs7229639 in the SMAD7 gene was found to be associated with CRC risk with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) associated with the minor allele (A) of 1.22 (1.15-1.29) in the combined analysis of all 11 studies (p = 2.93 × 10(-11) ). SNP rs7229639 is 2,487 bp upstream from rs4939827, a risk variant identified previously in a European-ancestry GWAS in relation to CRC risk. However, these two SNPs are not correlated in East Asians (r(2) ?= 0.008) nor in Europeans (r(2) ?= 0.146). The CRC association with rs7229639 remained statistically significant after adjusting for rs4939827 as well as three additional CRC risk variants (rs58920878, rs12953717 and rs4464148) reported previously in this region. SNPs rs7229639 and rs4939827 explained approximately 1% of the familial relative risk of CRC in East Asians. This study identifies a new CRC risk variant in the SMAD7 gene, further highlighting the significant role of this gene in the etiology of CRC.

Identification of a Potential Regulatory Variant for Colorectal Cancer Risk Mapping to 3p21.31 in Chinese Population.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have established chromosome 3p21.31 as a susceptibility locus for colorectal cancer (CRC) that lacks replication and exploration in the Chinese population. We searched potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the linkage disequilibrium (LD) block of 3p21.31 with chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) data of histone modification, and tested their association with CRC via a case-control study involving 767 cases and 1397 controls in stage 1 and 528 cases and 678 controls in stage 2. In addition to the tag SNP rs8180040 (odds ratio (OR)?=?0.875, 95% confidence interval (95% CI)?=?0.793-0.966, P?=?0.008, P-FDR (false discovery rate)?=?0.040), rs1076394 presented consistently significant associations with CRC risk at both stages with OR?=?0.850 (95% CI?=?0.771-0.938, P?=?0.001, P-FDR?=?0.005) under the additive model in combined analyses. Supported by the analyses of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), it was suggested that rs1076394 served as an expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) for gene CCDC12 and NME6, while NME6's expression was obviously higher in CRC tissues. Using biofeature information such as ChIP-seq and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data might help researchers to interpret GWAS results and locate functional variants for diseases in the post-GWAS era.

Genetic variant rs7758229 in 6q26-q27 is not associated with colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundA recent genome-wide association study has identified a new genetic variant rs7758229 in SLC22A3 for colorectal cancer susceptibility in a Japanese population, but it is unknown whether this newly identified variant is associated with colorectal cancer in other populations, including the Chinese population.MethodsWe examined the associations between rs7758229 and colorectal cancer risk among 1,147 cases and 1,203 controls matched by age and sex. Logistic regression model was used to assess the associations.ResultsNo significant association was found between rs7758229 and colorectal cancer risk (OR = 0.95, 95%CI = 0.84-1.09, P = 0.463). Similar results were observed in the stratification of tumor location (OR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.80-1.11, P = 0.481 for colon cancer, and OR = 0.96, 95%CI = 0.82-1.13, P = 0.621 for rectum cancer).ConclusionsOur findings did not support an association between rs7758229 in 6q26-q27 and the risk of colorectal cancer in a Chinese population.

Chromosome 4p16.3 variant modify bladder cancer risk in a Chinese population.

Project description:A recent genome-wide association study identified a common variant (rs798766) on 4p16.3 that confers susceptibility to bladder cancer. The aim of this study was to assess whether rs798766 is associated with risk of bladder cancer in a Chinese population as well. We genotyped this variant using TaqMan technology in a case-control study of 815 histologically confirmed bladder cancer patients and 1141 controls. Normal bladder tissues adjacent to tumors were used to evaluate the functionality of rs798766 using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. We found that rs798766 CT/TT genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of bladder cancer (odds ratio = 1.36, 95% confidence interval = 1.10-1.67), compared with the CC genotype. Furthermore, rs798766 was significantly associated with FGFR3 messenger RNA expression. However, no significant interaction between rs798766 and tobacco smoking on bladder cancer risk was observed (P(multiplicative) = 0.785). Our results suggest that rs798766 on 4p16.3 may contribute to bladder cancer susceptibility in a Chinese population and explains an additional 3.65% of population attributable risk for bladder cancer.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in SMAD7 and CHI3L1 and Colorectal Cancer Risk.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading cancers throughout the world. It represents the third most common cancer and the fourth in mortality. Most of CRC are sporadic, arise with no known high-penetrant genetic variation and with no previous family history. The etiology of sporadic CRC is considered to be multifactorial and arises from the interaction of genetic variants of low-penetrant genes and environmental risk factors. The most common well-studied genetic variation is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNP arises as a point mutation. If the frequency of the sequence variation reaches 1% or more in the population, it is referred to as polymorphism, but if it is lower than 1%, the allele is typically considered as a mutation. Lots of SNPs have been associated with CRC development and progression, for example, genes of TGF-?1 and CHI3L1 pathways. TGF-?1 is a pleiotropic cytokine with a dual role in cancer development and progression. TGF-?1 mediates its actions through canonical and noncanonical pathways. The most important negative regulatory protein for TGF-?1 activity is termed SMAD7. The production of TGF-? can be controlled by another protein called YKL-40. YKL-40 is a glycoprotein with an important role in cancer initiation and metastasis. YKL-40 is encoded by the CHI3L1 gene. The aim of the present review is to give a brief introduction of CRC, SNP, and examples of some SNPs that have been documented to be associated with CRC. We also discuss two important signaling pathways TGF-?1 and CHI3L1 that influence the incidence and progression of CRC.

Association of SMAD7 genetic markers and haplotypes with colorectal cancer risk.

Project description:PurposeColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the common cancers with a high mortality rate worldwide. In Iran, there has been a trend of increased incidence of colorectal cancer in the last three decades that necessitates the early diagnosis. Genetic factors have an influential role in its etiology along with the conventional risk factors such as age, diet, and lifestyle. Results from GWAS have shown significant associations between SMAD7 gene variants and risk of CRC. This study aimed to assess the association of certain polymorphisms as well as haplotypes of this gene and risk of colorectal cancer.Methods and materialsThis study was designed as a case-control association study. After obtaining ethical approval and informed consent, blood samples from 209 patients with colorectal cancer were collected and DNA was extracted. Four variants: rs4939827, rs34007497, rs8085824 and rs8088297 were genotyped using ARMS-PCR method.ResultsSMAD7 rs4939827 in the recessive and co-dominant models was associated with colorectal cancer risk [TT/CT + CC: OR = 2.90, 95%CI (1.38-6.09), p = 0.005; CC + TT/CT: OR = 1.66, 95%CI (1.00-2.75), p = 0.01]. Haplotype analysis indicated that some SNP combinations including two for-SNPs haplotypes of T-T-C-C and T-C-C-A were significantly associated with CRC risk.ConclusionBased on the identified association of SMAD7 gene variations and haplotypes with colorectal cancer risk in our population, genetic variations in this gene region may have a role in CRC development. This data may shed light on the genetic predisposition of CRC which involves different pathways including TGF-β.
