Colorectal cancer susceptibility loci as predictive markers of rectal cancer prognosis after surgery
AssociationN=243Hu Y. et al.(2018)· Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer

This study analyzes 243 rectal cancer patients to determine if colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility SNPs are associated with rectal cancer prognosis. SNPs on 8q24 (rs6983267 near MYC), 18q21 (rs12953717, rs4464148 in SMAD7), and 20q13 (rs4925386 in LAMA5) are found to be associated with disease-free survival and overall survival in rectal cancer patients, with some alleles associated with better or worse prognosis despite their effects on CRC risk.

The more from East-Asian, the better: risk prediction of colorectal cancer risk by GWAS-identified SNPs among Japanese
AssociationN=2,768Makiko Abe et al.(2017)· Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology

This case-control study in Japanese population evaluated CRC risk prediction models using SNPs identified in European and East Asian GWAS. An 11-SNP model combining 6 European-identified SNPs (rs6983267, rs4779584, rs4444235, rs9929218, rs10936599, rs16969681) with 5 East Asian-identified SNPs (rs704017, rs11196172, rs10774214, rs647161, rs2423279) showed significantly improved discrimination capacity compared to a 6-SNP model alone (derivation AUC 0.6392 vs 0.6125, P=0.0039; replication AUC 0.5695 vs 0.5310, P=0.0018), with cumulative risk at age 80 estimated at 13% in high-risk versus 6% in low-risk genetic groups.

About ATF1

This gene encodes an activating transcription factor, which belongs to the ATF subfamily and bZIP (basic-region leucine zipper) family. It influences cellular physiologic processes by regulating the expression of downstream target genes, which are related to growth, survival, and other cellular activities. This protein is phosphorylated at serine 63 in its kinase-inducible domain by serine/threonine kinases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I/II, mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase 3 (cdk-3). Its phosphorylation enhances its transactivation and transcriptional activities, and enhances cell transformation. Fusion of this gene and FUS on chromosome 16 or EWSR1 on chromosome 22 induced by translocation generates chimeric proteins in angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma and clear cell sarcoma. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
