Abstract 2930: Novel colorectal cancer loci in multiplex-proficient mismatch repair families
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A substantial proportion of familial colorectal cancer (CRC) is not a consequence of known susceptibility loci, such as mismatch repair (MMR) genes, supporting the existence of additional loci. To identify novel CRC loci, we conducted a genome-wide linkage scan in 356 white families with no evidence of defective MMR (i.e., no tumors with loss of expression of MMR proteins; no microsatellite instability (MSI)-high tumors, and no evidence of linkage to MMR genes). This represents the largest linkage analysis of proficient MMR (pMMR) familial CRC to date. Families were ascertained via the NCI-supported Colon Cancer Family Registry multi-site (Colon CFR) consortium, the City of Hope, and Memorial University of Newfoundland. A total of 1,612 individuals (average 5.0 per family, range 2-10 with an average of 2.2 affected and 2.8 unaffected individuals) were genotyped using genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism linkage arrays; parametric and non-parametric linkage analysis used MERLIN in a priori-defined family groups. Five lod scores greater than 3.0 were observed, accounting for heterogeneity, in four chromosomal regions. The greatest lod scores were at 4q21.1 among families with mean age of diagnosis less than 50 years (dominant HLOD=4.51, α=0.84, 145.40 cM, rs10518142) and at 12q24.32 among all families (dominant HLOD=3.60, α=0.48, 285.15 cM, rs952093). Among families with four or more affected individuals and among clinic-based families, a common peak was observed at 15q22.31 (101.40 cM, rs1477798; dominant HLOD=3.07, α=0.29; dominant HLOD=3.03, α=0.32, respectively). Analysis of families with only two affected individuals yielded a peak at 8q13.2 (recessive HLOD=3.02, α=0.51, 132.52 cM, rs1319036). These linkage regions comprise previously unreported loci, supporting the hypothesis that novel loci contribute to CRC in familial pMMR cases. These loci are also largely distinct from those identified in case-control GWAS. To follow up on these findings, a custom Agilent Sure Select Target Enrichment panel has been designed for genes in three of these regions, in order to sequence probands using an Illumina HiSeq 2000. This study demonstrates the utility of family-based data and provides evidence for additional alleles for familial CRC. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
