EPCO-02. GERMLINE SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM rs55705857 AT 8q24 INTERACTS WITH SOMATIC IDH1 MUTATION TO ENHANCE HUMAN GLIOMA FORMATION
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND Determination of the causation of germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in non-coding regions of the genome is challenging. The genomic region of 8q24 has been identified as important in many kinds of cancer, linked to a topologically associated domain (TAD) encompassing MYC; this TAD contains a GWAS SNP (rs55705857) associated with IDH-mutant glioma. METHODS Germline genotyping data from 622 IDH-mutant glioma and 668 controls were used to fine map the rs55705857 locus by detailed haplotype analysis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of histone markers H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K36me3 was performed on normal brain samples (n=8) and human glioma samples (n=11 IDH-wt and 52 IDH-mut). RNAseq from 9 normal and 83 brain tumors (n=26 IDH-wt and 55 IDH-mut) were used to assess differential gene expression. RESULTS Fine-mapping identified rs55705857 SNP as the most likely causative allele (OR=8.69; p<0.001) within 8q24 for the development of IDH-mutant glioma. At rs55705857, both H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in IDH-mutant vs IDH-wt tumors were increased 3.05- and 1.58-fold, respectively (DiffBind; p=5.81×10-7 and p=2.31×10-3). ChromHMM analysis of the marks indicated that promoter and enhancer functions were significantly increased, and the activity broadened at rs55705857 in IDH-mut gliomas compared to IDH-wt tumors and normal brain samples. This enhancement correlated with significant increased MYC expression in IDH-mut gliomas (p=3.1×10-13), as well as alterations of Myc signaling targets. Publicly available ATACseq, ChIPseq and long-range DNA interaction data demonstrated that the rs55705857 locus is open and interacts with the MYC promoter. CONCLUSIONS Fine-mapping of the 8q24 locus provided strong evidence that rs55705857 is the causative 8q24 locus associated with IDH-mut glioma. Functional experiments suggest that IDH mutation facilitates rs55705857 interaction with MYC to alter downstream MYC targets.

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.
