Abstract 221: Inherited variants at 3q13.33 and 3p24.1 influences risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background: We previously identified 5 SNPs at 4 susceptibility loci for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in individuals of European ancestry through a large genome-wide association study (Cerhan et al, Nat Gen 2014;46:1233-8); however, much of the heritability remains unexplained. To further elucidate genetic susceptibility to DLBCL, we sought to validate 2 loci at 3q13.33 and 3p24.1 that were suggestive in the original report. Methods: We selected two SNPs rs9831894 (3q13.33) and rs6773363 (3p24.1) for de novo replication from studies at the Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, and Memorial Sloan Kettering. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs), using a log-additive model, and adjusting for age, gender and significant eigenvectors for each genotyping center separately. For both SNPs, we then conducted a meta-analysis of all replication studies (n=3) and our original GWAS studies (n=4), encompassing in total 5662 cases and 9237 controls for rs9831894, and 5510 cases and 12,817 controls for rs6773363. Meta-analysis was conducted using the fixed-effects inverse variance method based on the β estimates and standard errors from each study. Results: In a meta-analysis of the 4 original GWAS scans (3856 cases and 7666 controls), rs9831894 (MAF=0.40) was associated with DLBCL risk (OR=0.84, P=4.52 x 10-9) and this replicated in a meta-analysis of the 3 studies with de novo genotyping (OR=0.80, P=4.17 x 10-5); the overall meta-analysis showed a strong association with DLBCL risk (OR=0.83, P=3.62 x 10-13). This locus maps near a plausible candidate gene, CD86, a protein coding gene and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that encodes a type I membrane protein. Binding of CD86 with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 negatively regulates T-cell activation and diminishes the immune response, while binding of CD86 with CD28 antigen is a costimulatory signal for activation of the T-cell. In a meta-analysis of the same 4 GWAS scans, rs6773363 (MAF=0.45) was tentatively associated with DLBCL risk (OR=1.17, P= 3.68 x 10-7) and this replicated in a meta-analysis of the studies with de novo genotyping (OR=1.27, P=3.78 x 10-7); the overall meta-analysis showed a strong association with DLBCL risk (OR=1.20, P=2.31 x 10-12). This locus also maps near a plausible candidate gene, eomesodermin (EOMES), a transcription factor crucial for embryonic development of the central nervous system and also putatively involved in T-cell differentiation in viral infection defense. Conclusion: In this follow-up analysis of our initial GWAS, we have identified two additional loci associated with risk of DLBCL, the most common lymphoma subtype. These loci provide additional evidence for the role of immune function in the etiology of DLBCL. Citation Format: Geffen Kleinstern, Michelle Hildebrand, Vijai Joseph, Sonja I.

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.
