BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND
Earlier animal studies suggested a strong influence of HLA polymorphisms on cancer susceptibility Candidate gene studies reported a number of associations, but most have not been replicated Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous risk markers even in non-virus-related cancers Whether these markers are proxies for HLA alleles or likely to be causal markers are unknown

BACKGROUNDBACKGROUNDUnique Features of the HLA region
Most gene-dense, most polymorphic region in the genome with the highest deleterious variant proportion, and strong linkage disequilibrium Strongest cis-eQTL in the genome Strongest trans-eQTL in the genome Gene content is enriched in embryo-expressed genes, and genes related to transcriptional/ translational machinery, stress response and genome surveillance

AIMAIM
To gain mechanistic insight into the reported cancer associations in GWAS and selected candidate gene studies
To delineate correlations between these markers and HLA alleles

MATERIAL MATERIAL andand METHODSMETHODS
NHGRI-GWAS catalog to compile cancer associations
CGEMS results from dbGAP (HLA region only) and WTCCC results for HLA and breast cancer associations from supplementary data file
103 HLA-typed IHWG reference cell lines
Bioinformatics suits for functional analysis (RegulomeDB, F-SNP, GTeX, GWAS Central, GWASdb)

RESULTSRESULTSCorrelations with HLA
Most SNPs were not exclusive to HLA alleles/haplotypes/lineages, but the SNPs associated with lymphoid malignancies, nasopharyngeal cancer, lung
cancer, and prostate cancer showed some correlations.
HLA-DRA rs2395185 ~ HLA-DRB4 lineage (Hodgkin lymphoma, lung cancer)
BAG6 rs3117582 ~ HLA-A1-B8-DR3 (lung cancer)
BTNL2 rs28362675 ~ HLA-B52-DR15 (prostate cancer)
* * *
HLA-DPB1 rs2281389 ~ HLA-DPB1*0301 (Hodgkin lymphoma)

Five of the eight European-origin samples homozygous for the variant allele of this SNP are DPB1*0301 homozygous in the IHWG panel.
Two Asian samples are DPB1*0901 homozygous in the IHWG panel.

RESULTSRESULTSBioinformatics: F-SNP
BTNL2 SNP associated with prostate cancer risk (Fitzgerald, 2013).

RESULTSRESULTSBioinformatics: F-SNP
This SNP creates a stop codon in BTNL2
Another BTNL2 SNP is associated with lung cancer risk
A splice site variant in BTNL2 is associated with sarcoidosis susceptibility

RESULTSRESULTSBioinformatics: F-SNP
EHMT2 SNP associated with breast cancer risk (Cebrian, 2006). No HLA correlation data.

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
By using one of the most underutilized resources in immunogenetics, we have generated useful information for HLA and cancer connection
HLA complex harbors genetic variants that modify cancer susceptibility
If individual SNP analyses have revealed associations in GWAS, more associations can be
unmasked by considering the special features of the HLA complex

FUTURE PROSPECTSFUTURE PROSPECTS
False negatives in GWAS
Unfaithfullness in the HLA region
Lack of consideration of effect modification
