In the present study, we have performed a comprehensive analysis of 18 genes involved in BER using a tagging SNP approach in a large series of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. 144 SNPs were analyzed in a two stage study involving 23,463 carriers from the CIMBA consortium (the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1 and BRCA2). Eleven SNPs showed evidence of association with breast and/or ovarian cancer at p<0.05 in the combined analysis. Four of the five genes for which strongest evidence of association was observed were DNA glycosylases. The strongest evidence was for rs1466785 in the NEIL2 (endonuclease VIII-like 2) gene (HR: 1.09, 95\% CI (1.03-1.16), p = 2.7x10(-3)) for association with breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers, and rs2304277 in the OGG1 (8-guanine DNA glycosylase) gene, with ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers (HR: 1.12 95\% CI: 1.03-1.21, p = 4.8x10(-3)). DNA glycosylases involved in the first steps of the BER pathway may be associated with cancer risk in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and should be more comprehensively studied.}, language = {en} } @article{DoerkPeterlongoMannermaaetal.2019, author = {D{\"o}rk, Thilo and Peterlongo, Peter and Mannermaa, Arto and Bolla, Manjeet K. and Wang, Qin and Dennis, Joe and Ahearn, Thomas and Andrulis, Irene L. and Anton-Culver, Hoda and Arndt, Volker and Aronson, Kristan J. and Augustinsson, Annelie and Beane Freeman, Laura E. and Beckmann, Matthias W. and Beeghly-Fadiel, Alicia and Behrens, Sabine and Bermisheva, Marina and Blomqvist, Carl and Bogdanova, Natalia V. and Bojesen, Stig E. and Brauch, Hiltrud and Brenner, Hermann and Burwinkel, Barbara and Canzian, Federico and Chan, Tsun L. and Chang-Claude, Jenny and Chanock, Stephen J. and Choi, Ji-Yeob and Christiansen, Hans and Clarke, Christine L. and Couch, Fergus J. and Czene, Kamila and Daly, Mary B. and dos-Santos-Silva, Isabel and Dwek, Miriam and Eccles, Diana M. and Ekici, Arif B. and Eriksson, Mikael and Evans, D.

In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk associations of others remain unknown. The gene for FA type C, FANCC, has been proposed as a breast cancer susceptibility gene based on epidemiological and sequencing studies. We used the Oncoarray project to genotype two truncating FANCC variants (p.R185X and p.R548X) in 64,760 breast cancer cases and 49,793 controls of European descent. FANCC mutations were observed in 25 cases (14 with p.R185X, 11 with p.R548X) and 26 controls (18 with p.R185X, 8 with p.R548X). There was no evidence of an association with the risk of breast cancer, neither overall (odds ratio 0.77, 95\%CI 0.44-1.33, p = 0.4) nor by histology, hormone receptor status, age or family history. We conclude that the breast cancer risk association of these two FANCC variants, if any, is much smaller than for BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations. If this applies to all truncating variants in FANCC it would suggest there are differences between FA genes in their roles on breast cancer risk and demonstrates the merit of large consortia for clarifying risk associations of rare variants.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreiraGamazonAlEjehetal.2019, author = {Ferreira, Manuel A. and Gamazon, Eric R. and Al-Ejeh, Fares and Aittom{\"a}ki, Kristiina and Andrulis, Irene L. and Anton-Culver, Hoda and Arason, Adalgeir and Arndt, Volker and Aronson, Kristan J. and Arun, Banu K. and Asseryanis, Ella and Azzollini, Jacopo and Balma{\~n}a, Judith and Barnes, Daniel R. and Barrowdale, Daniel and Beckmann, Matthias W. and Behrens, Sabine and Benitez, Javier and Bermisheva, Marina and Bialkowska, Katarzyna and Blomqvist, Carl and Bogdanova, Natalia V. and Bojesen, Stig E. and Bolla, Manjeet K. and Borg, Ake and Brauch, Hiltrud and Brenner, Hermann and Broeks, Annegien and Burwinkel, Barbara and Cald{\´e}s, Trinidad and Caligo, Maria A. and Campa, Daniele and Campbell, Ian and Canzian, Federico and Carter, Jonathan and Carter, Brian D. and Castelao, Jose E. and Chang-Claude, Jenny and Chanock, Stephen J. and Christiansen, Hans and Chung, Wendy K. and Claes, Kathleen B.

Here we hypothesize that some risk-associated variants might act in non-breast tissues, specifically adipose tissue and immune cells from blood and spleen. Using expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) reported in these tissues, we identify 26 previously unreported, likely target genes of overall breast cancer risk variants, and 17 for estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer, several with a known immune function. We determine the directional effect of gene expression on disease risk measured based on single and multiple eQTL. In addition, using a gene-based test of association that considers eQTL from multiple tissues, we identify seven (and four) regions with variants associated with overall (and ER-negative) breast cancer risk, which were not reported in previous GWAS. Further investigation of the function of the implicated genes in breast and immune cells may provide insights into the etiology of breast cancer.}, language = {en} }
