Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed SNP rs889312 on 5q11.2 to be associated with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry. In an attempt to identify the biologically relevant variants, we analyzed 909 genetic variants across 5q11.2 in 103,991 breast cancer individuals and control individuals from 52 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Multiple logistic regression analyses identified three independent risk signals: the strongest associations were with 15 correlated variants (iCHAV1), where the minor allele of the best candidate, rs62355902, associated with significantly increased risks of both estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+: odds ratio [OR] = 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21–1.27, ptrend = 5.7 × 10−44) and estrogen-receptor-negative (ER−: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.05–1.15, ptrend = 3.0 × 10−4) tumors. After adjustment for rs62355902, we found evidence of association of a further 173 variants (iCHAV2) containing three subsets with a range of effects (the strongest was rs113317823 [pcond = 1.61 × 10−5]) and five variants composing iCHAV3 (lead rs11949391; ER+: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.87–0.93, pcond = 1.4 × 10−4). Twenty-six percent of the prioritized candidate variants coincided with four putative regulatory elements that interact with the

<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed SNP rs889312 on 5q11.2 to be associated with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry. In an attempt to identify the biologically relevant variants, we analyzed 909 genetic variants across 5q11.2 in 103,991 breast cancer individuals and control individuals from 52 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Multiple logistic regression analyses identified three independent risk signals: the strongest associations were with 15 correlated variants (iCHAV1), where the minor allele of the best candidate, rs62355902, associated with significantly increased risks of both estrogen-receptor-positive (ER<sup>+</sup>
: odds ratio [OR] = 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21–1.27, p<sub>trend</sub>
= 5.7 × 10<sup>−44</sup>
) and estrogen-receptor-negative (ER<sup>−</sup>
: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.05–1.15, p<sub>trend</sub>
= 3.0 × 10<sup>−4</sup>
) tumors. After adjustment for rs62355902, we found evidence of association of a further 173 variants (iCHAV2) containing three subsets with a range of effects (the strongest was rs113317823 [p<sub>cond</sub>
= 1.61 × 10<sup>−5</sup>
]) and five variants composing iCHAV3 (lead rs11949391; ER<sup>+</sup>
: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.87–0.93, p<sub>cond</sub>
= 1.4 × 10<sup>−4</sup>
). Twenty-six percent of the prioritized candidate variants coincided with four putative regulatory elements that interact with the <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
promoter through chromatin looping and affect <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
promoter activity. Functional analysis indicated that the cancer risk alleles of four candidates (rs74345699 and rs62355900 [iCHAV1], rs16886397 [iCHAV2a], and rs17432750 [iCHAV3]) increased <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
transcriptional activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed diminished GATA3 binding to the minor (cancer-protective) allele of rs17432750, indicating a mechanism for its action. We propose that the cancer risk alleles act to increase <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
expression in vivo and might promote breast cancer cell survival.</p>

<abstract><p>Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed SNP rs889312 on 5q11.2 to be associated with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry. In an attempt to identify the biologically relevant variants, we analyzed 909 genetic variants across 5q11.2 in 103,991 breast cancer individuals and control individuals from 52 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Multiple logistic regression analyses identified three independent risk signals: the strongest associations were with 15 correlated variants (iCHAV1), where the minor allele of the best candidate, rs62355902, associated with significantly increased risks of both estrogen-receptor-positive (ER<sup>+</sup>
: odds ratio [OR] = 1.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21–1.27, p<sub>trend</sub>
= 5.7 × 10<sup>−44</sup>
) and estrogen-receptor-negative (ER<sup>−</sup>
: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.05–1.15, p<sub>trend</sub>
= 3.0 × 10<sup>−4</sup>
) tumors. After adjustment for rs62355902, we found evidence of association of a further 173 variants (iCHAV2) containing three subsets with a range of effects (the strongest was rs113317823 [p<sub>cond</sub>
= 1.61 × 10<sup>−5</sup>
]) and five variants composing iCHAV3 (lead rs11949391; ER<sup>+</sup>
: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.87–0.93, p<sub>cond</sub>
= 1.4 × 10<sup>−4</sup>
). Twenty-six percent of the prioritized candidate variants coincided with four putative regulatory elements that interact with the <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
promoter through chromatin looping and affect <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
promoter activity. Functional analysis indicated that the cancer risk alleles of four candidates (rs74345699 and rs62355900 [iCHAV1], rs16886397 [iCHAV2a], and rs17432750 [iCHAV3]) increased <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
transcriptional activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed diminished GATA3 binding to the minor (cancer-protective) allele of rs17432750, indicating a mechanism for its action. We propose that the cancer risk alleles act to increase <italic>MAP3K1</italic>
expression in vivo and might promote breast cancer cell survival.</p>
