Abstract

We conducted a joint (pooled) analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ^1-3 of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in ethnic Chinese (5,337 ESCC cases and 5,787 controls) with 9,654 ESCC cases and 10,058 controls for follow-up. In a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, study, and two eigenvectors, two new loci achieved genome-wide significance, marked by rs7447927 at 5q31.2 (per-allele odds ratio (OR) = 0.85, 95% CI 0.82-0.88; P=7.72x10⁻²⁰) and rs1642764 at 17p13.1 (per-allele OR= 0.88, 95% CI 0.85-0.91; P=3.10x10⁻¹³). rs7447927 is a synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TMEM173 and rs1642764 is an intronic SNP in ATP1B2, near TP53. Furthermore, a locus in the HLA class II region at 6p21.32 (rs35597309) achieved genome-wide significance in the two populations at highest risk for ESSC (OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.22-1.46; P=1.99x10⁻¹⁰). Our joint analysis identified new ESCC susceptibility loci overall as well as a new locus unique to the ESCC high risk Taihang Mountain region.

<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p id="P1">We conducted a joint (pooled) analysis of three genome-wide association studies (GWAS) <sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
-<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
</sup>
 of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in ethnic Chinese (5,337 ESCC cases and 5,787 controls) with 9,654 ESCC cases and 10,058 controls for follow-up. In a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, study, and two eigenvectors, two new loci achieved genome-wide significance, marked by rs7447927 at 5q31.2 (per-allele odds ratio (OR) = 0.85, 95% CI 0.82-0.88; <italic>P</italic>
=7.72x10<sup>−20</sup>
) and rs1642764 at 17p13.1 (per-allele OR= 0.88, 95% CI 0.85-0.91; <italic>P</italic>
=3.10x10<sup>−13</sup>
). rs7447927 is a synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in <italic>TMEM173</italic>
 and rs1642764 is an intronic SNP in <italic>ATP1B2,</italic>
 near <italic>TP53</italic>
. Furthermore, a locus in the HLA class II region at 6p21.32 (rs35597309) achieved genome-wide significance in the two populations at highest risk for ESSC (OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.22-1.46; <italic>P</italic>
=1.99x10<sup>−10</sup>
). Our joint analysis identified new ESCC susceptibility loci overall as well as a new locus unique to the ESCC high risk Taihang Mountain region.</p>
