Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 19 risk variants associated with colorectal cancer. As most of these risk variants reside outside the coding regions of genes, we conducted cis-expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL) analyses to investigate possible regulatory functions on the expression of neighboring genes. Forty microsatellite stable and CpG island methylator phenotype-negative colorectal tumors and paired adjacent-normal colon tissues were used for genome-wide SNP and gene expression profiling in our cis-eQTL analyses. This submission represents transcriptome component of study.

Project description:Introduction: Cis-acting regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at specific loci may modulate penetrance of germline mutations at the same loci by introducing different levels of expression of the wild-type allele. We have previously reported that BRCA2 shows differential allelic expression and we hypothesize that the known variable penetrance of BRCA2 mutations might be associated with this mechanism. Methods: We combined haplotype analysis and differential allelic expression of BRCA2 in breast tissue to identify expression haplotypes and candidate cis-regulatory variants. These candidate variants underwent selection based on in-silico predictions for regulatory potential and disruption of transcription factor binding, and were functionally analysed in-vitro and in-vivo in normal and breast cancer cell lines. SNPs tagging the expression haplotypes were correlated with the total expression of several genes in breast tissue measured by Taqman and microarray technologies. The effect of the expression haplotypes on breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers was investigated in 2754 carriers. Results: We identified common haplotypes associated with differences in the levels of BRCA2 expression in human breast cells. We characterised three cis-regulatory SNPs located at the promoter and two intronic regulatory elements, which affect the binding of the transcription factors C/EBPα, HMGA1, DBP and ZF5. We showed that the expression haplotypes also correlated with changes in the expression of other genes in normal breast. Furthermore, there was suggestive evidence that the minor allele of SNP rs4942440, which is associated with higher BRCA2 expression, is also associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer (per-allele HR=0.85, 95%CI=0.72-1.00, P-trend=0.048). Conclusion: Our work provides further insights into the role of cis-regulatory variation in the penetrance of disease-causing mutations. We identified small-effect genetic variants associated with allelic expression differences in BRCA2, which could possibly affect the risk in mutation carriers through altering expression levels of the wild-type allele. Total gene expression of normal breast sample from healthy controls. This submission represents transcriptome component of study.
