Replication study for the association of seven genome- GWAS-identified Loci with susceptibility to ovarian cancer in the Polish population.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the previously-demonstrated association of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs2072590 (HOXD-AS1), rs2665390 (TIPARP), rs10088218 and rs10098821 (8q24), rs3814113 (9p22), rs9303542 (SKAP1) and rs2363956 (ANKLE1), as risk factors of epithelial ovarian tumors (EOTs). These SNPs were genotyped in two hundred seventy three patients with EOTs and four hundred sixty four unrelated healthy females from the Polish population. We observed the lowest p values of the trend test for the 9p22 rs3814113 and 8q24 rs10098821 SNPs in patients with all subtypes of ovarian cancer (p(trend) = 0.010 and p(trend) = 0.014, respectively). There were also significant p values for the trend of the 9p22 rs3814113 and the 8q24 rs10098821 SNP
