Whole-Genome Sequencing of Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated with Cranial Radiation Therapy Identifies 5p15.33 Locus for Stroke: A Report from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To identify genetic factors associated with risk of stroke among survivors of childhood cancer treated with cranial radiotherapy (CRT). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:We analyzed whole-genome sequencing (36.8-fold) data of 686 childhood cancer survivors of European ancestry [median (range), 40.4 (12.4-64.7) years old; 54% male] from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort study treated with CRT, of whom 116 (17%) had clinically diagnosed stroke. Association analyses (single-variant and Burden/SKAT tests) were performed, adjusting for demographic characteristics and childhood cancer treatment exposures. RESULTS:We identified a genome-wide significant association between 5p15.33 locus and stroke [rs112896372: HR = 2.55; P = 1.42 × 10-8], with a stronger association (HR = 3.68) among survivors treated with CRT dose 25-50 Gray (Gy) and weaker associations among those treated with CRT doses <20 or 20-25 or >50 Gy (HRs = 2.14, 2.40, and 2.28). The association was replicated in 90 CRT-exposed African survivors (HR = 3.05; P = 0.034). In CRT-exposed Europeans, rs112896372 significantly (P < 0.001) improved predictive ability (AUC = 0.717) for determining stroke risk than nongenetic factors alone (AUC = 0.663) at 30 years since diagnosis, with significant improvement among African survivors (P = 0.047). SNP rs112896372 was further evaluated in three independent datasets including 1,641 European (HR = 1.54; P = 0.055) and 316 African survivors (HR = 1.88; P = 0.283) not treated with CRT, and 166,988 males in the UK Biobank (OR = 1.0012; P = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS:A novel locus 5p15.33 is associated with stroke risk among childhood cancer survivors, with a possible CRT dose-specific effect. The locus is of potential clinical utility in characterizing individuals who may benefit from surveillance and intervention strategies.
