Genome-wide association of familial prostate cancer cases identifies evidence for a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21
AssociationN=3,893Teerlink CC et al.(2016)· Human Genetics

This genome-wide association study of 2511 familial prostate cancer cases and 1382 controls identified significant associations in six regions previously linked to prostate cancer risk. Most notably, rs138042437 at 8q24.21 achieved an exceptionally large effect size (OR=13.3, p=1.7e-8) and demonstrated strong co-segregation with disease in 116 affected relatives (p=8.5e-11). The study identified a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21 containing three SNPs (rs183373024, rs188140481, rs138042437) that characterized a prostate cancer predisposition locus.

ReviewMarcelo Chen et al.(2010)· The Prostate

Systematic literature review of 22 GWAS studies identifying 53 SNPs in 29 genomic loci associated with aggressive and progressive prostate cancer, particularly in low-grade disease. Functional analysis of 21 SNPs revealed involvement in the MYC/POU5F1B pathway (rs1447295, rs6983267, rs4242382), androgen receptor pathway (rs17021918, rs10486567, rs7679673, rs2939244), and PSA/KLK3 biomarkers (rs2735839, rs10993994). SNPs were integrated with somatic copy number aberration data, with 17 SNPs found in regions of recurrent CNAs predictive of progression; notably, rs1447295 and 7 other SNPs cluster in 8q24 gain regions harboring MYC.

ReviewNaoki Terada et al.(2008)· The Prostate

This systematic review identified 53 unique SNPs in 29 genomic loci associated with aggressive prostate cancer progression and poor outcomes from GWAS studies. Functional studies implicated 21 SNPs as modulating the androgen receptor pathway, MYC oncogene, and PSA-related genes, with rs1447295 and rs10993994 being replicated across multiple populations and associated with unfavorable pathological features in low-grade prostate cancer.

About CCNH

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the highly conserved cyclin family, whose members are characterized by a dramatic periodicity in protein abundance through the cell cycle. Cyclins function as regulators of CDK kinases. Different cyclins exhibit distinct expression and degradation patterns which contribute to the temporal coordination of each mitotic event. This cyclin forms a complex with CDK7 kinase and ring finger protein MAT1. The kinase complex is able to phosphorylate CDK2 and CDC2 kinases, thus functions as a CDK-activating kinase (CAK). This cyclin and its kinase partner are components of TFIIH, as well as RNA polymerase II protein complexes. They participate in two different transcriptional regulation processes, suggesting an important link between basal transcription control and the cell cycle machinery. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 4. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
