项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Epidemiologic studies have consistently found Jews to be at increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared to non-Jewish whites. This excess risk is not accounted for by BRCA1/2 mutations or by other known risk factors. We therefore propose to examine in Jewish subjects the most significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations observed in the Pancreatic Cancer Cohort and Case-Control Consortium (PanScan) genome-wide association study (GWAS), to perform an exploratory GWAS to identify additional SNPs associated with pancreatic cancer in the Jewish population, and to assess genetic underpinning of the relationship between Jewish ancestry and pancreatic cancer. To do this, we will use GWAS data from PanScan and from the Johns Hopkins University study titled "Validation and Fine-Scale Mapping of Pancreatic Cancer Susceptibility Loci." In our study, Jewish subjects with be identified with a panel of genetic markers that correlate strongly with self-reported Jewish ancestry. Preliminary sample size calculations, based upon participants in the PanScan and Johns Hopkins University studies, give an estimate of around 500 Jewish cases and 300 unaffected Jewish controls. We will use the program Eigensoft (v.3.0) to conduct a principal component analysis that will genetically identify Jewish subjects among other racial/ethnic groups. We will validate these genetically identified Jews by using a subset of self-reported Jewish subjects in the Yale University, Johns Hopkins, and Memorial Sloan Kettering studies, all sub-studies in the PanScan and Johns Hopkins University studies. We will perform the SNP replication analysis, conduct the GWAS, and will assess genetic contribution using the program PLINK (v.1, 07): whole genome association analysis toolset. Logistic regression models will be used for each SNP, with pancreatic cancer as the outcome variable and each SNP as a predictor variable. Any association with P-value less than 0.05 will be considered significant for the candidate gene approach, and less than 10-6 for the GWAS approach. This will be the first study to determine a genetic basis, distinct from BRCA1/2 mutations, for the excess risk of pancreatic cancer in Jews. Results from this work will open paths to identify genetic interactions and will begin to approach the possibility of genetic screening for pancreatic cancer in the Jewish population.

描述（由申请人提供）：与非犹太白人相比，流行病学研究一直发现犹太人患胰腺癌的风险增加。 BRCA1/2突变或其他已知危险因素不会考虑这种过多的风险。因此，我们建议在犹太受试者中检查最重要的单一核苷酸多态性（SNP）关联，在胰腺癌队列和病例对照联盟（Panscan）全基因组范围的关联研究（GWAS）中观察到的关联（GWAS），以识别与犹太人群体相关的eNCENTIC sNP，并识别与犹太人群体相关的其他SNP，并评估犹太人的癌症之间的其他关系。胰腺癌。为此，我们将使用Panscan和Johns Hopkins University的GWAS数据，标题为“胰腺癌易感性基因座的验证和精细映射”。在我们的研究中，犹太人的受试者被识别为与自我报告的犹太血统密切相关的遗传标记。根据Panscan和John Hopkins University研究的参与者的初步样本量计算，估计了大约500例犹太人病例和300例未受影响的犹太人控制。我们将使用Eigensoft计划（v.3.0）进行主要组成部分分析，该分析将在其他种族/族裔群体中遗传上识别犹太人。我们将通过在耶鲁大学，约翰·霍普金斯（Johns Hopkins）和纪念斯隆·凯特林（Sloan Kettering）研究中使用自我报告的犹太学科的子集来验证这些遗传上的犹太人，这些犹太人在潘斯卡斯卡（Panscan）和约翰·霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）的研究中均可验证。我们将执行SNP复制分析，进行GWAS，并使用程序PLINK（V.1，07）评估遗传贡献：整个基因组关联分析工具集。逻辑回归模型将用于每个SNP，胰腺癌作为结果变量，每个SNP作为预测变量。对于候选基因方法，与p值小于0.05的任何关联都将被认为是显着的，而对于GWAS方法，少于10-6。这将是确定与BRCA1/2突变不同的遗传基础的第一项研究，因为犹太人患有胰腺癌的过量风险。这项工作的结果将开辟识别遗传相互作用的道路，并开始接近犹太人口中胰腺癌遗传筛查的可能性。
