Only one falls into a haplotype previously associated with other cancer types (rs7705526, in TERT intron 1), and this SNP has been shown to alter TERT promoter activity. One of the novel associations (rs13174814) maps to a second region in the TERT promoter and the other (rs62329728) is in the promoter region of CLPTM1L; neither are correlated with previously reported cancer-associated SNPs. Using TCGA RNASeq data, we found significantly increased expression of both TERT and CLPTM1L in endometrial cancer tissue compared with normal tissue (TERTP = 1.5 × 10−18, CLPTM1LP = 1.5 × 10−19). Our study thus reports a novel endometrial cancer risk locus and expands the spectrum of cancer types associated with genetic variation at 5p15, further highlighting the importance of this region for cancer susceptibility.]]> Tue 10 Oct 2023 08:38:44 AEDT ]]> Genetic variation in mitotic regulatory pathway genes is associated with breast tumor grade https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20582 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:36 AEDT ]]> Association of a common AKAP9 variant with breast cancer risk: a collaborative analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5128 T and N2792S, 8375A>G) to be associated with an allele dose–dependent increase in risk of familial breast cancer in a German population. We extended the analysis of AKAP9 M463I, which is in strong linkage disequilibrium with AKAP9 N2792S, to 9523 breast cancer patients and 13 770 healthy control subjects from seven independent European and Australian breast cancer studies. All statistical tests were two-sided. The collaborative analysis confirmed the association of M463I with increased breast cancer risk. Among all breast cancer patients, the combined adjusted odds ratio (OR) of breast cancer for individuals homozygous for the rare allele TT (frequency = 0.19) compared with GG homozygotes was 1.17 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.08 to 1.27, P = .0003), and the OR for TT homozygotes plus GT heterozygotes compared with GG homozygotes was 1.10 (95% CI = 1.04 to 1.17, P = .001). Among the combined subset of 2795 familial breast cancer patients, the respective ORs were 1.27 (95% CI = 1.12 to 1.45, P = .0003) and 1.16 (95% CI = 1.06 to 1.27, P = .001).]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:48:55 AEDT ]]> Comprehensive genetic assessment of the ESR1 locus identifies a risk region for endometrial cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26799 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:26 AEDT ]]>
