Here we perform a meta-analysis of two genome-wide association studies in 2,627 cases and 3,797 controls of Japanese ancestry and 1,894 cases and 4,703 controls of African ancestry, to identify genetic variants that contribute to CRC susceptibility. We replicate genome-wide statistically significant associations (<italic>P</italic> < 5×10<sup>−8</sup>) in 16,823 cases and 18,211 controls of European ancestry. This study reveals a new pan-ethnic CRC risk locus at 10q25 (rs12241008, intronic to <italic>VTI1A</italic>; <italic>P</italic>=1.4×10<sup>−9</sup>), providing additional insight into the etiology of CRC and highlighting the value of association mapping in diverse populations.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Lichtenstein, P" uniqKey="Lichtenstein P">P Lichtenstein</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Browning, Sr" uniqKey="Browning S">SR Browning</name></author><author><name sortKey="Browning, Bl" uniqKey="Browning B">BL Browning</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Devlin, B" uniqKey="Devlin B">B Devlin</name></author><author><name sortKey="Roeder, K" uniqKey="Roeder K">K Roeder</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Wang, H" uniqKey="Wang H">H Wang</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Bose, A" uniqKey="Bose A">A Bose</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Kunwar, Aj" uniqKey="Kunwar A">AJ Kunwar</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Ramirez, Dm" uniqKey="Ramirez D">DM Ramirez</name></author><author><name sortKey="Khvotchev, M" uniqKey="Khvotchev M">M Khvotchev</name></author><author><name sortKey="Trauterman, B" uniqKey="Trauterman B">B Trauterman</name></author><author><name sortKey="Kavalali, Et" uniqKey="Kavalali E">ET Kavalali</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Lan, Q" uniqKey="Lan Q">Q Lan</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Bass, Aj" uniqKey="Bass A">AJ Bass</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Loo, Lw" uniqKey="Loo L">LW Loo</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Pruim, Rj" uniqKey="Pruim R">RJ Pruim</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Cheng, I" uniqKey="Cheng I">I Cheng</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Siddiq, A" uniqKey="Siddiq A">A Siddiq</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Price, Al" uniqKey="Price A">AL Price</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Sankararaman, S" uniqKey="Sankararaman S">S Sankararaman</name></author><author><name sortKey="Sridhar, S" uniqKey="Sridhar S">S Sridhar</name></author><author><name sortKey="Kimmel, G" uniqKey="Kimmel G">G Kimmel</name></author><author><name sortKey="Halperin, E" uniqKey="Halperin E">E Halperin</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Howie, Bn" uniqKey="Howie B">BN Howie</name></author><author><name sortKey="Donnelly, P" uniqKey="Donnelly P">P Donnelly</name></author><author><name sortKey="Marchini, J" uniqKey="Marchini J">J Marchini</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Peters, U" uniqKey="Peters U">U Peters</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Peters, U" uniqKey="Peters U">U Peters</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Zanke, Bw" uniqKey="Zanke B">BW Zanke</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Willer, Cj" uniqKey="Willer C">CJ Willer</name></author><author><name sortKey="Li, Y" uniqKey="Li Y">Y Li</name></author><author><name sortKey="Abecasis, Gr" uniqKey="Abecasis G">GR Abecasis</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Higgins, Jp" uniqKey="Higgins J">JP Higgins</name></author><author><name sortKey="Thompson, Sg" uniqKey="Thompson S">SG Thompson</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Yeager, M" uniqKey="Yeager M">M Yeager</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Amundadottir, L" uniqKey="Amundadottir L">L Amundadottir</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Petersen, Gm" uniqKey="Petersen G">GM Petersen</name></author></analytic></biblStruct><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Landi, Mt" uniqKey="Landi M">MT Landi</name></author></analytic></biblStruct></listBibl></div1></back></TEI><pmc article-type="research-article"><pmc-dir>properties open_access</pmc-dir>

Here we perform a meta-analysis of two genome-wide association studies in 2,627 cases and 3,797 controls of Japanese ancestry and 1,894 cases and 4,703 controls of African ancestry, to identify genetic variants that contribute to CRC susceptibility. We replicate genome-wide statistically significant associations (<italic>P</italic> < 5×10<sup>−8</sup>) in 16,823 cases and 18,211 controls of European ancestry. This study reveals a new pan-ethnic CRC risk locus at 10q25 (rs12241008, intronic to <italic>VTI1A</italic>; <italic>P</italic>=1.4×10<sup>−9</sup>), providing additional insight into the etiology of CRC and highlighting the value of association mapping in diverse populations.</p></abstract></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="S1"><title>Introduction</title><p id="P3">CRC is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Genetics is known to play an important role in CRC susceptibility<sup><xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup>. However, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), mostly conducted in European-descent populations, have only identified 30 common risk variants (22 independent loci) for CRC, markedly fewer than for prostate or breast cancer.</p><p id="P4">To discover additional risk loci for this cancer, we combine, via a meta-analysis, two GWAS of CRC in populations of Japanese and African American ancestry.

Blood leukocyte DNA samples were genotyped on the Illumina 1M-Duo or the Illumina 660W-Quad arrays yielding, after quality control (QC) procedures, data for 323,852 SNPs available for all Japanese samples (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Methods and Supplementary Methods</xref>). Un-typed markers or markers with partly missing values were imputed with BEAGLE<sup><xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> using East Asians from the 1000 Genomes Project (phase 1, release 3) as the reference panel. The second GWAS of African American samples (<italic>n</italic> = 6,597) (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>) were identified from the MEC, CCFR, the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS), the MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of North Carolina CanCORS study (UNCCanCORS) and Rectal Cancer Study (UNC-Rectal), and from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening (PLCO) Trial. African American samples were genotyped using the Illumina 1M-Duo bead arrays (except 170 PLCO subjects on Illumina Omni 2.5M). Imputation was performed with BEAGLE using Europeans and Africans from the 1000 Genomes Project (phase 1, release 3) as reference panels. Over 4.2 million genotyped or imputed autosomal markers were available for both studies.</p><p id="P6">In both GWAS, cases and controls were well matched with regard to genetic ancestry based on principal component analyses (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Methods and Supplementary Figures 1&2</xref>). We used logistic regression within each ethnic group to test for SNP dosage association with CRC risk, adjusting for age at blood draw, sex and the first 4 principal components (PCs). The genomic control<sup><xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup> inflation factor (<italic>λ</italic>) was 1.04 for each individual study, indicating little effect of population stratification after controlling for global ancestries (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Fig. 3</xref>).</p><p id="P7">After combining the two GWAS, we observed three SNPs in the <italic>VTI1A</italic> gene on chromosome 10q25 to be statistically significant at the genome-wide significance level (<italic>P</italic> < 5×10<sup>−8</sup>; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>; <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>). The strongest association was for rs12241008 (114,280,702 bp) [odds ratio (OR) = 1.19, 95% CI 1.12-1.26, <italic>P</italic> = 2.9×10<sup>−8</sup>, allele frequency 0.19 and 0.25 in African Americans and Japanese, respectively] with highly consistent associations in both populations (<italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> = 0). The other two SNPs, rs7894915 (114,277,039 bp, <italic>P</italic> = 4.8×10<sup>−8</sup>) and rs10082356 (114,278,181 bp, <italic>P</italic> = 4.9×10<sup>−8</sup>), are in high LD with rs12241008 (<italic>r</italic><sup>2</sup> from 0.80 to 1.0 in East Asians, Africans and Europeans) with risk estimates almost identical to those for rs12241008 (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Tables 3 & 4</xref>). This locus has not previously been reported to be associated with CRC.</p><p id="P8">We subsequently replicated these associations in two large colorectal cancer consortia of European-descent populations (allele frequency 0.09): Colorectal Transdisciplinary Study (CORECT) with 7,561 cases and 6,328 controls from 8 participating studies (combined OR = 1.09, <italic>P</italic> = 0.036, <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>) and Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) with 9,262 cases and 11,883 controls from 18 participating studies (combined OR = 1.09, <italic>P</italic> = 0.018, <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>). The combined <italic>P</italic>-value for rs12241008 in the Japanese, African Americans and Europeans was 1.4×10<sup>−9</sup> (OR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.09-1.18). A meta-analysis using individual study-level statistics yielded similar results (<italic>P</italic> = 1.5×10<sup>−9</sup>). Although risk estimates were consistent across individual studies (<italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> = 8%, <italic>P</italic><sub>het</sub> = 0.35, d.f.=27) (see forest plot in <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Fig. 4</xref>), there was some evidence for heterogeneity in effects across ethnic groups (<italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> = 53%, <italic>P</italic><sub>het</sub>=0.12, d.f.=2). This possible heterogeneity in effects, along with the low allele frequencies observed in European-descent populations (and therefore low power), could partially explain why previous GWAS in Europeans failed to identify this locus and thus, emphasizes the importance of conducting GWAS in ethnically diverse populations.</p><p id="P9">Similar results were observed for rs7894915 and rs10082356 when the data were combined with the European-descent GWAS (<italic>P</italic> = 1.6×10<sup>−9</sup> and 1.5×10<sup>−9</sup>, respectively). Nine other SNPs in this region (located within 12kb in the same LD block as rs12241008 in East Asians, Africans and Europeans, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Fig. 5</xref>) also had <italic>P</italic>-values < 5×10<sup>−8</sup> when all data were combined (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Tables 3 & 4</xref>). However, the strongest association signal was still with rs12241008 (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Fig. 5</xref>) and none of the other nearby SNPs within 200kb represented an independent signal after conditioning on rs12241008 in the African American and Japanese GWAS. Results for these 12 SNPs were similar (change in OR <1.2%) with or without adjustment for local ancestry estimates among African Americans (Methods).</p><p id="P10">There was no important heterogeneity in ORs in the Japanese or the African American data by anatomical site (colon vs. rectal cancer) (<italic>P</italic>-values > 0.74), by stage (regional/distant vs. local/in situ) (<italic>P</italic>-values > 0.6), by age of diagnosis (<italic>P</italic>-values > 0.7), or by sex (<italic>P</italic> = 0.04 in African Americans and 0.80 in Japanese) for the most significant marker rs12241008 (stratified analysis results are in <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>).</p><p id="P11">No association reached the genome-wide significance threshold (5×10<sup>−8</sup>) in the Japanese GWAS when analyzed separately.

However, this association was not replicated (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 6</xref>) in the Japanese or in the combined European-descent data (<italic>P</italic>-values > 0.15).</p><p id="P12">Out of 30 known CRC susceptibility SNPs, 27 were available for analysis in the Japanese study and 23 (85%) effects were in the same direction as in original GWAS reports (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>). Replication and fine-mapping of the known risk loci in the African American study was summarized previously<sup><xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup>. Twelve out of the 27 associations were replicated in the meta-analysis of the Japanese and African American data (<italic>P</italic> < 0.05) and 23 risk estimates were directionally consistent with those originally reported (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>). Considerable heterogeneity in disease risk between the two ethnic groups (<italic>I</italic><sup>2</sup> > 50%) was observed for 6 SNPs (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>).</p><p id="P13">The three genetic variants with the strongest association with CRC, rs12241008, rs7894915 and rs10082356, are located in intron 3 of the <italic>VTI1A</italic> gene which encodes vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs 1A. VTI1A is involved in regulating insulin-stimulated trafficking of secretory vesicles enriched with both GLUT4 (glucose transporter) and Acrp30 in adipocytes<sup><xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup>; it also plays key roles in neuronal development <sup><xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref></sup> and in selectively maintaining spontaneous neurotransmitter release<sup><xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup>. A recent GWAS study in never-smoking Asian women has identified rs7086803 in intron 7 of <italic>VTI1A</italic> as a lung cancer susceptibility variant (218kb from and not in LD with rs12241008)<sup><xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup>. Interestingly, a gene fusion product, <italic>VTI1A-TCF7L2</italic>, was identified in colorectal tumors and shown to promote anchorage-independent growth of cultured tumor cells<sup><xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup>. The fusion occurs between <italic>VTI1A</italic> exon 3 (chr10:114,220,869) and <italic>TCF7L2</italic> exon 4 (chr10:114,760,545) and results in the deletion of both the intron 3 CRC and intron 7 lung cancer risk variants. No coding variant is in LD with the top three SNPs. Among the three <italic>VTI1A</italic> SNPs associated with CRC in this study, rs7894915 and rs10082356 lie in predicted transcriptional regulatory regions suggesting enhancer and promoter regulatory activities across multiple cell lines (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 8</xref>)<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup>. We explored regulatory effects of the SNPs correlated with rs12241008 in a <italic>cis</italic>-expression quantitative trait loci (<italic>cis-</italic>eQTL) analysis in 40 paired colon adjacent-normal and tumor tissue samples from European descent patients<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup>. Among the SNPs in high LD (<italic>r</italic><sup>2</sup> > 0.8) with rs12241008 in East Asians, the intronic SNP rs7081965 (alleles: A/T), affected <italic>VTI1A</italic> expression (<italic>P</italic> = 0.003) in colon tumor tissue. Rs7081965 is also in considerable LD with rs12241008 in Africans (<italic>r</italic><sup>2</sup> = 0.21, |<italic>D</italic>’| = 0.88) and in Europeans (<italic>r</italic><sup>2</sup> = 0.24, |<italic>D</italic>’| =1) in the 1000 Genomes data. Although the association of rs7081965 with CRC was not statistically significant in this study (OR = 1.09 for allele <italic>T</italic>, <italic>P</italic> = 8.2×10<sup>−6</sup> from three ethnic groups combined), these results provide an interesting lead for future functional investigations.</p><p id="P14">In summary, this trans-ethnic GWAS identified a new CRC susceptibility locus at 10q25 with directionally consistent associations across three ethnic/racial populations, providing additional insight into the genetic architecture of CRC.
