Abstract 4629: Multiple myeloma susceptibility loci examined in African and European ancestry populations

Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) in Northern Europeans have identified seven novel risk loci (2p23.3, 3p22.1, 3q26.2, 6p21.33, 7p15.3, 17p11.2, 22q13.1). We performed a multiethnic meta-analysis of these regions in 1,274 MM patients and 1,486 controls of European ancestry (EA) and 1,049 MM patients and 7,080 controls of African ancestry (AA), leveraging the differential linkage-disequilibrium of these populations in order to better localize the putative functional variants. We observed directionally consistent effects for all seven index SNPs in both populations, with four significantly associated (p<0.05) with risk in EAs (3p22.1, 7p15.3, 17p11.2, 22q13.1), and two significantly associated with risk in AAs (7p15.3 and 22q13.1). In a fixed effects meta-analysis of six regions (excluding the HLA region on chromosome 6), variation in five of the regions (2p33.3, 3p22.1, 7p15.3, 17p11.2, 22q13.1) had statistically significant associations with risk (Table 1). In one region, the index variant had the strongest association [rs4487645 at 7p15.3, (OR = 1.30, p = 8.7×10−8)]. Five of the six most significantly associated variants identified in the multiethnic analyses overlapped with biologically relevant features indicating regulatory activity based on CD20+ (B lymphocyte) cells, showing evidence of potential function; those included a missense variant in (17p11.2, rs34562254, Pro251Leu) in TNFRSF13B, which encodes a lymphocyte-specific protein in the tumor necrosis factor receptor family that interacts with the NF-kb pathway. Our study shows that these regions are important in MM risk across ethnicities and further supports the use of multiple ethnic groups in genetic studies to enhance identification of risk variants.
