Abstract

Background: Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with cancer risk. GWAS data are important for cancer prevention and understanding the underlying mechanisms of cancer. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between different types of cancer using GWAS data and a bioinformatics approach. Methods and results: The significant GWAS variants associated with more than one cancer type were identified. Common linkage disequilibrium (LD) variants between different types of cancer were identified by 1000 genomes phase 3 LD data. Haplotype blocks were identified by analyzing 1000 Genomes phase 3 genotyping data in the GWAS populations. Subsequent analyses included functional SNP analyses and TCGA gene expression. The results associated with significant GWAS variants (P<5E-8) showed the following haplotype associations in European population: GT rs4808075-rs8170 haplotype on BABAM1 with breast and ovarian cancers, GC rs16857609-rs11693806 haplotype on DIRC3 with breast and thyroid cancers, GCG rs380286-rs401681-rs31487 haplotype on CLPTM1L with skin and lung cancers, GGG rs4430796-rs11651052-rs11263763 haplotype on HNF1B with prostate and endometrial cancers, and GT rs10505477-rs6983267 haplotype on CASC8 associated with colorectal and prostate cancers. All these genes had significantly different expressions in tumor tissues (P<1E-3). In addition, the rs11693806 variant is located in the hsa-miR-873-5p binding site and has an enhancing effect on the hsa-miR-873-5p:DIRC3 interaction. Conclusion: These novel haplotype structures and miRNA:lncRNA interactions are important for understanding the common genetic link between cancers. These results can potentially be used in genetic panels. © 2024 The Author(s). Cancer Reports published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
