A susceptibility locus on chromosome 6q greatly increases lung cancer risk among light and never smokers.
Cigarette smoking is the major cause for lung cancer, but genetic factors also affect susceptibility. We studied families that included multiple relatives affected by lung cancer. Results from linkage analysis showed strong evidence that a region of chromosome 6q affects lung cancer risk. To characterize the effects that this region of chromosome 6q region has on lung cancer risk, we identified...
متن کاملPromoter methylation of genes in and around the candidate lung cancer susceptibility locus 6q23-25.
Chromosomal aberrations associated with lung cancer are frequently observed in the long arm of chromosome 6. A candidate susceptibility locus at 6q23-25 for lung cancer was recently identified; however, no tumor suppressor genes inactivated by mutation have been identified in this locus. Genetic, epigenetic, gene expression, and in silico screening approaches were used to select 43 genes locate...
متن کاملPersonalized Risk Assessment in Never, Light, and Heavy Smokers in a prospective cohort in Taiwan
The objective of this study was to develop markedly improved risk prediction models for lung cancer using a prospective cohort of 395,875 participants in Taiwan. Discriminatory accuracy was measured by generation of receiver operator curves and estimation of area under the curve (AUC). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, gender, smoking pack-years, family history of lung cancer, perso...
متن کاملThe Association of the MTHFR Gene Polymorphisms with Breast Cancer Susceptibility
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer. Considering the relationship among plasma folate levels, the level of uracil, and DNA damage in cell division, methyl tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a suitable candidate for studies on the susceptibility to cancer, including brea...
متن کاملThe TERT-CLPTM1L locus for lung cancer predisposes to bronchial obstruction and emphysema.
Clinical studies suggest that bronchial obstruction and emphysema increase susceptibility to lung cancer. We assessed the possibility of a common genetic origin and investigated whether the lung cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 5p15.33 increases the risk for bronchial obstruction and emphysema. Three variants in the 5p15.33 locus encompassing the TERT and CLPTM1L genes were genotyped i...
