Two new genetic

Summary:

A worldwide study of
the DNA of 100,000 women has discovered two new genetic variants associated
with an increased risk of breast cancer. The genetic variants are specifically
linked to the most common form of breast cancer, estrogen receptor positive,
and provide important insights into how the disease develops.

A worldwide study of the
DNA of 100,000 women has discovered two new genetic variants associated with an
increased risk of breast cancer.

The genetic variants are specifically linked to the most common form of
breast cancer, oestrogen receptor positive, and provide important insights into
how the disease develops.

Scientists believe screening women for all the genetic variants so far
identified could eventually pick out those at highest risk of breast cancer and
improve strategies for preventing the disease.

The study was led by scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research,
London, and is published in Human Molecular Genetics.

It analysed the DNA of around 86,000 women of European, 12,000 of Asian and
2,000 of African ancestries, around half of whom had breast cancer.

The study's identification of two new genetic risk factors for breast
cancer provides important clues about the causes of the disease -- implicating
a gene called KLF4, which is thought to help control the way cells grow and
divide.

The research involved scientists from more than 130 institutions worldwide
-- also including the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the
University of Cambridge. It was funded by a range of organisations including
Cancer Research UK, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and the European Union.

Researchers were looking for one-letter differences in DNA code that were
more likely to be found in women with breast cancer than those without the
disease, using a state-of-the-art genetic technique called 'fine mapping'. They
focused on a recently identified hotspot for genetic causes of breast cancer on
chromosome 9.

Women with the first genetic variant identified, called rs10816625, were 12
per cent more likely to develop breast cancer than women without, and those
with the second variant, rs13294895, at a 9 per cent increased risk.

The increases in risk were slightly higher -- 14 per cent and 11 per cent
respectively -- for oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer, but there was no
association with oestrogen receptor negative forms of the disease.

The genetic variants are thought to help control the activity of KLF4,
despite lying a long distance away from that gene.

Both were associated with increased risk in European women but only one of
them, rs10816625, in women of Asian ancestry.

Study leader Dr Nick Orr, Team Leader in Complex Trait Genetics at The
Institute of Cancer Research, London, said:

"Our study zoomed in on an area of our genome that we knew was linked
to breast cancer risk, and has identified two new genetic variants that add
significantly to our knowledge about the genetic causes of the disease.

"The variants we identified are specifically associated with the most
common, oestrogen receptor positive, form of breast cancer. The more genetic
risk factors for breast cancer we discover, of which there are currently more
than 80, the more accurately we will be able predict who is at risk of getting
the disease. Ultimately this will be vital for designing preventative
strategies against breast cancer."

Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of The Institute of Cancer
Research, London, said:

"Studies like this are only possible through international
collaboration between huge numbers of researchers at institutions across the
world, collating together data on enormous numbers of people.

"The two new variants uncovered by this study could be factored into
potential future screening tools for breast cancer that incorporate all known
genetic risk factors for the disease. They also provide important clues to the
genetic causes of the most common form of breast cancer and potential leads for
the discovery of new treatments."

Dr Matthew Lam, Senior Research Officer at Breakthrough Breast Cancer,
said:

"Whilst we are learning more and more each day about the
environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors that affect breast cancer risk, it
is not yet possible to predict who will get breast cancer, and for women who
have been diagnosed with the disease, we can't yet say what caused it.

"That's why Breakthrough Breast Cancer is leading the way to find the
answers to these questions through the research we fund, including the
Breakthrough Generations Study, the largest study of its kind, following more
than 113,000 women from across the UK for 40 years in a bid to find the root
causes of breast cancer. Our hope is that as the study continues to report over
time, we will eventually be able to identify high-risk women and find ways to
prevent them from developing breast cancer in the first place."

Dr Emma Smith, Senior Science Information Officer at Cancer Research UK,
said:

"Thanks to modern technology we're building an increasingly detailed
picture of the small variations in DNA that can influence a woman's risk of
breast cancer. The next challenges are understanding the biology underpinning
their effects, so we can use this information to predict individual risk more
accurately, improve screening and find better ways to treat and prevent breast
cancer."
