Abstract:
Background: The incidence rates of lung cancer among never-smoking females in some parts of East Asia are among the highest in the world. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of lung cancer in Asian never-smoking women have previously identified six susceptibility loci associated with lung cancer risk including 3q28, 5p15.33, 6p21.32, 6q22.2, 10q25.2 and 17q24.3. This study aims to discover additional lung cancer susceptibility loci among never-smoking Asian females. Methods: We imputed data from four GWAS of Asian non-smoking female lung cancer (6,877 cases and 6,277 controls) using the 1,000 Genomes Project (Phase 1 Release 3) data as the reference and genotyped additional samples (5,878 cases and 7,046 controls) for potential replication. Results: In our meta-analysis, three new loci achieved genome-wide significance, marked by the single nucleotide polymorphisms rs7741164 at 6p21.1 (per-allele odds ratio (OR) = 1.17; P = 5.8 × 10-13), rs72658409 at 9p21.3 (per-allele OR = 0.77; P = 1.41 ×10-10), and rs11610143 at 12q13.13 (per-allele OR = 0.89; P = 4.96 ×10-9). Conclusions: We identified new genetic susceptibility alleles for lung cancer in never-smoking women in Asia. These findings merit follow-up to understand their biological underpinnings and potential interactions with environmental exposures.
