Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and large-scale replication studies have identified common variants in 79 loci associated with breast cancer, explaining ∼14% of the familial risk of the disease. To identify new susceptibility loci, we performed a meta-analysis of 11 GWAS, comprising 15,748 breast cancer cases and 18,084 controls together with 46,785 cases and 42,892 controls from 41 studies genotyped on a 211,155-marker custom array (iCOGS). Analyses were restricted to women of European ancestry. We generated genotypes for more than 11 million SNPs by imputation using the 1000 Genomes Project reference panel, and we identified 15 new loci associated with breast cancer at P < 5 × 10(-8). Combining association analysis with ChIP-seq chromatin binding data in mammary cell lines and ChIA-PET chromatin interaction data from ENCODE, we identified likely target genes in two regions: SETBP1 at 18q12.3 and RNF115 and PDZK1 at 1q21.1. One association appears to be driven by an amino acid substitution encoded in EXO1.

**Figure 2**
The chromosome 1 locus tagged by rs12405132 a) The Manhattan Plot displays the strength of genetic association (−log₁₀ P) versus chromosomal position (Mb), where each dot presents a genotyped (solid black dot) or imputed (red circle) SNP (in the iCOGS stage). The purple horizontal line represents the threshold for genome-wide significance (P=5×10⁻⁸). Gene structures are depicted as well as the location of SNPs with MAF>0.01 which were neither imputed reliably nor genotyped. b) Mammary cell enhancer locations as defined in Corradin et al., and Hnisz et al., are shown where elements overlapping the best associated SNPs are labelled with their predicted target genes. A subset of ChiA-PET interactions in MCF7 cells (mediated by either RNApolII or ERa) between enhancers and their target gene promoters are also shown.
