<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p id="P1">Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. To date, 22 common breast cancer susceptibility loci have been identified accounting for ~ 8% of the heritability of the disease. We followed up 72 promising associations from two independent Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in ~70,000 cases and ~68,000 controls from 41 case-control studies and nine breast cancer GWAS. We identified three new breast cancer risk loci on 12p11 (rs10771399; <italic>P</italic>
=2.7 × 10<sup>−35</sup>
), 12q24 (rs1292011; <italic>P</italic>
=4.3×10<sup>−19</sup>
) and 21q21 (rs2823093; <italic>P</italic>
=1.1×10<sup>−12</sup>
). SNP rs10771399 was associated with similar relative risks for both estrogen receptor (ER)-negative and ER-positive breast cancer, whereas the other two loci were associated only with ER-positive disease. Two of the loci lie in regions that contain strong plausible candidate genes: <italic>PTHLH</italic>
(12p11) plays a crucial role in mammary gland development and the establishment of bone metastasis in breast cancer, while <italic>NRIP1</italic>
(21q21) encodes an ER co-factor and has a role in the regulation of breast cancer cell growth.</p>

<abstract><p id="P1">Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. To date, 22 common breast cancer susceptibility loci have been identified accounting for ~ 8% of the heritability of the disease. We followed up 72 promising associations from two independent Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in ~70,000 cases and ~68,000 controls from 41 case-control studies and nine breast cancer GWAS. We identified three new breast cancer risk loci on 12p11 (rs10771399; <italic>P</italic>
=2.7 × 10<sup>−35</sup>
), 12q24 (rs1292011; <italic>P</italic>
=4.3×10<sup>−19</sup>
) and 21q21 (rs2823093; <italic>P</italic>
=1.1×10<sup>−12</sup>
). SNP rs10771399 was associated with similar relative risks for both estrogen receptor (ER)-negative and ER-positive breast cancer, whereas the other two loci were associated only with ER-positive disease. Two of the loci lie in regions that contain strong plausible candidate genes: <italic>PTHLH</italic>
(12p11) plays a crucial role in mammary gland development and the establishment of bone metastasis in breast cancer, while <italic>NRIP1</italic>
(21q21) encodes an ER co-factor and has a role in the regulation of breast cancer cell growth.</p>

<body><p id="P2">Breast cancer is one of the most commonly occurring epithelial malignancies in women with an estimated one million new cases and over 400,000 deaths annually worldwide<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
</sup>
. Familial aggregation and twin studies have demonstrated the substantial contribution of inherited susceptibility to breast cancer <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R3">3</xref>
</sup>
. Over the last four years, we and others have conducted several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and reported breast cancer susceptibility variants at 21 loci <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R4">4</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R14">14</xref>
</sup>
with an additional locus (<italic>CASP8</italic>
) identified through a candidate gene approach 15. These variants are associated with modest risks of the disease (per-allele odds ratios <1.3), and explain ~ 8% of the excess familial risk of breast cancer, while other rarer high and moderate risk loci contribute less than 20%, suggesting that other loci remain to be identified <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>
</sup>
.</p>
<p id="P3">To identify further breast cancer susceptibility loci, we selected 72 SNPs that were genotyped and found to be significantly associated with breast cancer at <italic>P</italic>
<0.0001 in either of two breast cancer GWAS in the UK (UK2 and BBCS) <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R17">17</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R18">18</xref>
</sup>
. We attempted to genotype these SNPs in up to 41 case-control studies through the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). After quality control (QC) exclusions (see Methods), we analysed data on 54,588 cases of invasive breast cancer, 2401 cases of Ductal Carcinoma <italic>in Situ</italic>
(DCIS) and 58,098 controls. In addition, we utilised data from 7 additional breast cancer GWAS from which summary results had been obtained based on imputation to Hapmap 2 CEU. Results from the GWAS and BCAC replication were then combined to derive the overall evidence of association for each SNP based on 69,564 cases and 68,150 controls.</p>
<p id="P4">Three SNPs showed strong evidence for association in European women, consistent with the effect seen in the original GWAS (<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
). In each case, the genotype-specific odds ratios (ORs) were consistent with an allele dose (log-additive) model (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
). SNP rs2823093 showed some evidence of heterogeneity in the per-allele ORs among studies in the replication stage (<italic>P</italic>
=0.002), with particularly marked associations in two studies (HMBCS, RBCS; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
). The association in the replication stage remained highly significant, however, even after excluding these two studies (<italic>P</italic>
=7.1×10<sup>−7</sup>
). The other two loci showed no evidence of heterogeneity among studies. Two additional SNPs on 17q21, rs2532348 and rs199523 (correlated at r<sup>2</sup>
=0.80 in the UK2 GWAS), gave more limited evidence of replication (<italic>P</italic>
=0.000078 and <italic>P</italic>
=0.0063) and reached <italic>P</italic>
=5.8×10<sup>−7</sup>
and <italic>P</italic>
=2.6×10<sup>−6</sup>
respectively when combined with the GWAS data (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). These SNPs were only genotyped in the UK2 GWAS. They could not be imputed using HapMap, and were only successfully genotyped in 12 studies in the BCAC replication. Moreover, for SNP rs2532348 there was evidence of heterogeneity among studies in the per-allele ORs in BCAC (<italic>P</italic>
=0.001). Further data will be required to determine whether this SNP is associated with breast cancer risk. Three other SNPs (rs10940235 on 5q11, rs4403040 on 4q21 and rs6027564 on 20q13) showed evidence of replication at P<0.01 but none reached genome-wide levels of statistical significance (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P5">For women of Asian ancestry, SNP rs10771399 (12p11) was also associated with breast cancer risk, with the estimated OR being similar to that in women of European ancestry (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 3</xref>
). There was no significant evidence of association for either SNPs rs1292011 (12q24) or rs2823093 (21q21) in women of Asian ancestry. For rs2823093, the estimated OR was in the opposite direction than that in women of European ancestry, but the estimates did not differ significantly (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 3</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P6">SNP rs10771399 showed strong evidence of association with both estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and ER-negative breast cancer, with the estimated per-allele ORs being similar (based on 24,775 ER-positive and 7,122 ER-negative cases; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4a</xref>
). In contrast, for SNPs rs1292011 and rs2823093, the association was confined to ER-positive breast cancer, with no evidence of association for ER-negative disease (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4a</xref>
). These latter results conform to the general pattern of a preponderance of common susceptibility loci for ER-positive disease identified through GWAS based on cases unselected for disease subtype <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R19">19</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R20">20</xref>
</sup>
. In terms of per-allele OR, SNP rs10771399 has one of the strongest effects identified to date for ER-negative breast cancer (OR 0.85, 95%CI 0.80-0.90). For all three SNPs, the per-allele OR for DCIS was similar to that for invasive disease (based on up to 2,148 DCIS cases; <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4b</xref>
). For SNP rs10771399, the estimated OR was higher for 10 studies in which cases were selected for a positive family history and/or bilaterality, as would be expected under a polygenic model <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R21">21</xref>
</sup>
(<italic>P</italic>
=0.027, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
); however, exclusion of data from these studies made little difference to the estimated OR. There was no evidence for difference in the per-allele OR by age at diagnosis for any SNP (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 4c</xref>
).</p>
<p id="P7">SNP rs10771399 lies in a ~300kb linkage disequilibrium (LD) block on 12p11 that contains one known gene, <italic>PTHLH</italic>
(Parathyroid Hormone like Hormone isoform 1), also called <italic>PTHrP</italic>
(Parathyroid hormone–related protein; <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2a</xref>
). PTHrP is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and in many malignancies, including 60% of breast tumors and is required for normal mammary gland and bone development <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R22">22</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R25">25</xref>
</sup>
. During lactation it is released by the mammary gland to regulate the transfer of calcium from the skeleton to the milk <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R26">26</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R27">27</xref>
</sup>
. Tumor secreted PTHrP mimics the action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by binding to its receptor PTH1R <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R28">28</xref>
</sup>
promoting humoral hypercalcemia as well as metastasis of breast cancer cells to the bone <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R23">23</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R29">29</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R31">31</xref>
</sup>
. It has been suggested that PTHrP enhances tumorigenesis through its pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic activity by promoting survival in cells subjected to apoptosis <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R32">32</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R33">33</xref>
</sup>
. However, conflicting data regarding the correlation of PTHrP expression level and breast cancer survival have been found <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R24">24</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R34">34</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R36">36</xref>

. Moreover, a recent study reported that loss of PTHrP accelerates tumor incidence in DCIS and is associated with monocyte infiltration <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R37">37</xref>

<p id="P8">SNP rs1292011 on 12q24 lies in a ~ 100 kb LD block that contains no known genes (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2b</xref>

and its haplo-insufficiency is associated with Ulnar-Mammary disorder<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R50">50</xref>

</sup>
and at high levels in plasma from breast and ovarian cancer patients <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R52">52</xref>

<p id="P10">The three novel susceptibility variants identified in this study are relatively common (MAF 0.11-0.41) and together explain ~0.7% of the familial risk of breast cancer, and bring the total contribution of common low-penetrance breast cancer susceptibility loci to ~9%. The relative risks associated with these variants are modest, with the per-allele ORs for the risk allele ranging from 1.07 to 1.22 fold, but the causal variants underlying some of these loci might confer more substantial risks. The present work highlights the importance of combining GWAS and large-scale replication studies with tumor subtyping in the identification and characterisation of breast cancer susceptibility loci.</p>
<p id="P11">The genes in these regions (if proven to be the causal genes) underscore that diverse mechanisms are likely to be relevant to breast cancer pathogenesis. Re-sequencing of these loci, combined with fine-scale mapping and functional analyses will provide more insights into the genetic architecture of breast cancer and the pathogenesis of the disease.</p>
<sec sec-type="methods" id="S1"><title>Methods</title>
<sec id="S2"><title>GWAS analysis</title>
<p id="P12">Primary genotype data were obtained for nine breast cancer GWAS in populations of European ancestry (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 6</xref>
). Standard QC was performed on all scans, as follows. We excluded all individuals with low call rate (<95%), extreme high or low heterozygosity (P<10<sup>−5</sup>
), and all individuals evaluated to be of non-European ancestry (>15% non-European component, by multidimensional scaling using the three Hapmap2 populations as a reference). We excluded SNPs with: call rate <95%; call rate <99% and MAF<5%, all SNPs with MAF<1%, and SNPs whose genotype frequencies departed from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at <italic>P</italic>
<10<sup>−6</sup>
in controls or <italic>P</italic>
<10<sup>−12</sup>
in cases. For highly significant SNPs the genotype intensity cluster plots were examined manually to judge reliability, either centrally or by contacting the original investigators.</p>
<p id="P13">Data were imputed for all scans for ~2.6M SNPs using HapMap version 2 CEU as a reference, using the program Mach v1.0. Estimated per-allele ORs and standard errors were generated from the imputed genotypes using Probabel<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R69">69</xref>
</sup>
. For two studies (UK2 and HEBCS), estimates were adjusted by the first three principal components, since this was found to materially reduce the inflation. Residual inflation was then adjusted for by multiplying the variance by a genomic control adjustment factor, based on the ratio of the median chi-squared test statistic to its expected value. BBCS and UK2 used the same control data (WTCCC2) but different genotyping platforms. These studies were imputed separately. For the combined analysis, the control set was divided randomly between the two studies, in proportion to the size of case series, to provide disjoint strata. For a limited subset of SNPs that could not be imputed (including rs2532348 and rs199523 on 17q21), genotype data from the original scan(s) were used in the analysis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="S3"><title>Replication stage</title>
<p id="P14">SNPs for replication were genotyped in 46 studies, of which 4 were case-only studies that did not contribute to the current analysis (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>
). Data from BBCS were excluded as the same cases were included in the GWAS. Seven studies (HABCS, HMBCS, HUBCS, KARBAC, RBCS, SEARCH and SEBCS) were analysed by Fluidigm for 72 SNPs (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
). We selected 63 SNPs selected from UK2: one replaced by a better surrogate, and one failed, so only data were available for 61 SNPs. Ten SNPs were selected from BBCS and one SNP was selected from both scans (The original SNP, rs1975930, also referred to as rs56003999, did not work by Fluidigm and in some iPlex analyses and was replaced by a surrogate rs10771399, r<sup>2</sup>
=0.95, which was typed in all studies). Samples from 27 studies were genotyped by iPlex for 29 SNPs that showed the strongest associations. Seven additional studies (ABCFS, CGPS, MCCS, NC-BCFR, OFBCR, PBCS, UKBGS) were genotyped by Taqman for up to 4 SNPs that showed association after the Fluidigm and iPlex genotyping, including all three 3 SNPs discussed in detail here. We restricted the analysis to individuals of European or East Asian ancestry, since the sample size for other ethnicities was too small to give meaningful results.</p>
<p id="P15">All studies complied with BCAC genotyping QC standards by including at least 2% of samples in duplicate and a common set of 93 CEPH DNAs used by the HapMap Consortium (HAPMAPPT01, Coriell Institute for Medical Research, Cambden, NJ). Genotype data were excluded for: any sample that consistently failed genotyping for >20% of the SNPs typed; all samples on any one plate that had a SNP call rate <90%; all genotype data for any SNP where overall call rate was <95%; and all genotype data for any SNP where duplicate concordance was <98% (based on 2% of samples genotyped in duplicate). In addition, for any SNP for which the <italic>P</italic>
-value for departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for controls was <0.005, clustering of the intensity plots was reviewed manually and the data excluded if clustering was judged to be poor. After QC exclusions we analysed data on 54,588 cases of invasive breast cancer, 2,401 cases of DCIS and 58,098 controls.</p>
<p id="P16">Per-allele and genotype-specific odds ratios for the replication stage were estimated using logistic regression, adjusted for study. Women of European and Asian ancestry were analysed separately. NC-BCFR contributed cases and controls to both European and Asian analyses; for the remaining studies the subjects were either predominantly European or predominantly Asian, and subjects from other minority ethnicities were excluded.</p>
<p id="P17">Statistical significance levels from the GWAS and BCAC replication phases were obtained by combining the logOR estimates and standard errors as in a fixed effect meta-analysis. Heterogeneity in the OR association with each SNP by ER status was evaluated using a case-only analysis, by logistic regression. Heterogeneity by age was evaluated by fitting a linear age × genotype interaction term.</p>
