Functional characterization of a chr13q22.1 pancreatic cancer risk locus reveals long-range interaction and allele-specific effects onDIS3expression

Abstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple common susceptibility loci for pancreatic cancer. Here we report fine-mapping and functional analysis of one such locus residing in a 610 kb gene desert on chr13q22.1 (marked by rs9543325). The closest candidate genes, KLF5, KLF12, PIBF1, DIS3 and BORA, range in distance from 265-586 kb. Sequencing three sub-regions containing the top ranked SNPs by imputation P-value revealed a 30 bp insertion/deletion (indel) variant that was significantly assoc… Show more

“…Because let-7 RNAs can silence MYC, RAS, and other mRNAs, Dis3 depletion ultimately results in accumulation of these gene products, potentially explaining correlations observed for Dis3 inactivation and RAS activation in model systems (Snee et al 2016) and MM (Lohr et al 2014). Perhaps consistent with this model, decreased Dis3 expression has been observed for high-risk genotypes associated with pancreatic cancer (Hoskins et al 2016), where activating RAS mutants are common (Eser et al 2014).…”

“…This creates a cervical microenvironment that is susceptible to persistent infection and carcinogenesis. KLF12 has been linked to several cancers (16)(17)(18)(19), including head and neck cancers (20,21), which are usually associated with hrHPV. A study of HPV integration breakpoints in the human genome showed that a copy of the virus was integrated between KLF5 and KLF12 in HPV-positive SiHa cells (22).…”

“…This intergenic SNP maps at 13q22.1 locus, and has been showed to be strongly associated with pancreatic cancer [1,3,37,[41][42][43]. The locus 13q22.1 has other SNPs associated previously with PA, mainly in European and Chinese populations, some studies suggest a potential long-range enhancer activity but mechanisms are still unknown [44].…”
