چکیده
To identify the genetic factors that influence overall survival in never smokers who have non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), we conducted a consistency meta-analysis study using genome-wide association approaches for overall survival in 327 never smoker patients with NSCLC from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX) and 293 cases from the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). We then conducted a two-pronged validation of the top 25 variants that included additional validation in 1,256 patients with NSCLC from Taiwan and assessment of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and differential expression of genes surrounding the top loci in 70 tumors and matched normal tissues. A total of 94 loci were significant for overall survival in both MD Anderson and Mayo studies in the consistency meta-analysis phase, with the top 25 variants reaching a P value of 10(-6). Two variants of these 25 were also significant in the Taiwanese population: rs6901416 [HR, 1.44; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-2.06] and rs10766739 (HR, 1.23; 95%CI, 1.00-1.51). These loci resulted in a reduction of median survival time of at least eight and five months in three populations, respectively. An additional six variants (rs4237904, rs7976914, rs4970833, rs954785, rs485411, and rs10906104) were validated through eQTL analysis that identified significant correlations with expression levels of six genes (LEMD3, TMBIM, ATXN7L2, SHE, ITIH2, and NUDT5, respectively) in normal lung tissue. These genes were also significantly differentially expressed between the tumor and normal lung tissue. These findings identify several novel, candidate prognostic markers for NSCLC in never smokers, with eQTL analysis suggesting a potential biologic mechanism for a subset of these observed associations.

متن کاملExpression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and the association with Demographic and Prognostic Factors in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction: Growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. Given the significance of EGFR signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR expression is influential on these cell characteristics. I...
متن کاملEast meets West: ethnic differences in epidemiology and clinical behaviors of lung cancer between East Asians and Caucasians
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with large variation of the incidence and mortality across regions. Although the mortality of lung cancer has been decreasing, or steady in the US, it has been increasing in Asia for the past two decades. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, and other risk factors such as indoor coal burning, cooking fumes, and infections may p...
متن کاملSingle-nucleotide polymorphisms (5p15.33, 15q25.1, 6p22.1, 6q27 and 7p15.3) and lung cancer survival in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).
The single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs402710 (5p15.33), rs16969968 and rs8034191 (15q25.1) have been consistently identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as significant predictors of lung cancer risk, while rs4324798 (6p22.1) was previously found to influence survival time in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Using the same population of one of the original GWAS, we in...
