Abstract
BACKGROUND Health problems can lead to costs in the education sector. However, these costs are rarely incorporated in health economic evaluations due to the lack of reference unit costs (RUCs), cost per unit of service, of education services and of validated methods to obtain them. In this study, a standardized unit cost calculation tool developed in the PECUNIA project, the PECUNIA RUC Template for services, was applied to calculate the RUCs of selected education services in five European countries. METHODS The RUCs of special education services and of educational therapy were calculated using the information collected via an exploratory gray literature search and contact with service providers. RESULTS The RUCs of special education services ranged from €55 to €189 per school day. The RUCs of educational therapy ranged from €6 to €25 per contact and from €5 to €35 per day. Variation was observed in the type of input data and measurement unit, among other. DISCUSSION The tool helped reduce variability in the RUCs related to costing methodology and gain insights into other aspects that contribute to the variability (e.g. data availability). Further research and efforts to generate high quality input data are required to reduce the variability of the RUCs.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Extent of aortic valve (AV) calcium increases as degenerative aortic valve stenosis progresses. Initial studies postulated AV calcium (AVC) score to be a predictor of complications such as need for pacemaker implantation, paravalvular regurgitation and mortality after Trans-catheter Aortic valve Replacement (TAVR). However, evidence regarding the impact of AVC score as a predictor of post-procedural complications and mortality has been conflicting.
Objective
This study aimed to determine the prognostic impact of AVC as predictor of post-procedural outcomes and mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVR.
Methods
We retrospectively abstracted the records of 497 patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR between January 2016 and July 2019 at our institution. All patients underwent a non-contrast cardiac CT scan on a Siemens Somatom Definition Flash 128 slice scanner. AVC score using the Agatston method was obtained retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups: 1) Non-severe AVC score group [women <1200 Agatston unit (AU) and men <2000 AU]; 2) Severe AV Calcium Score group [women >1200 AU and men >2000 AU]. Primary outcome was 1-year mortality.
Results
Among 466 patients included in the analysis, 352 patients were included severe AVC group while 114 patients were in the non-severe AVC group. Patients in the severe AVC group were older (81±8 vs 79±8 years), were predominantly males (79% vs 71%), and had less diabetes mellitus (31% vs 42%, p=0.02). Post-TAVR AV dimensionless index (0.58±0.13 vs 0.58±0.12, p=0.8) and AV mean gradient (9.5±4.9 vs 9.2±5.4 mmHg) were not statistically different between both groups. There was no statistical difference in the need for PPM (12% vs 7%, p=0.16), post-TAVR stroke (1.5% vs 0%), post-TAVR major complications (17.4% vs 10%, p=0.07), 30 day (3.7% vs 4.4%), and 1-year mortality (13.6 vs 11.4, p=0.6) between both groups.
Conclusion
Our study report that the severity of AVC score does not have a prognostic impact on major post-procedural outcomes and mortality after TAVR.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Sex based differences exist in the presentation, outcomes, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Although aortic valve calcium (AVC) score has been postulated to be associated with post-procedural outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), data on the impact of AVC score on procedural outcomes after TAVR based on sex have been scarce.
Objective
The aim of the present study was to elucidate sex related differences in the prognostic impact of AVC score as a predictor of post-procedural outcomes and mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVR.
Methods
We retrospectively abstracted the records of 497 patients with severe AS who underwent TAVR between January 2016 and July 2019 at our institution. All patients underwent a non-contrast cardiac CT scan on a Siemens Somatom Definition Flash 128 slice scanner. AVC score using the Agatston method was calculated retrospectively. Primary outcome was 1-year mortality. Patients were divided into two groups: 1) Non-severe AVC score group [women <1200 Agatston unit (AU) and men <2000 AU]; 2) Severe AVC Score group [women >1200 AU and men >2000 AU]. Cox-regression model was used to predict effect of variables on 1-year mortality in male and female patients.
Results
Among 466 patients included, 268 patients were male and 198 were female (57.5% vs 42.5%). When compared with males, female patients had significantly lower AVC score (p<0.001), aortic valve area (AVA) (p<0.001), obstructive CAD (p<0.001), and history of previous PCI (p<0.004), and CABG (<0.001) but had a significantly higher STS score (6.7±3.2 vs 5.8±3.3 P=0.01). There was no difference between need for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation (11% vs 9.6%, p=0.4), major complications (16% vs 15%, p=0.9), stroke (0.8% vs 1.6%, p=0.7), 30-day (3.7% vs 4%, p=0.9), and 1-year mortality (14% vs 12%, p=0.6) between males and females, respectively. Female patients required smaller bio-prosthetic valves compared with males (26±3.2 vs 30±3, p<0.001). Cox regression analysis for female patients showed BMI, hemoglobin level, and AVA independently predicted 1-year mortality, while there was no impact of severe AVC score (>1200 AU) on 1-year mortality in females. Similarly, Cox regression analysis for male patients showed there was no impact of severe AVC score (>2000 AU) on 1-year mortality in males. When males in the severe AVC group were compared with female patients in the severe AVC group, there was no difference in 30 day (4.3% vs 3.3%, p=0.82) and 1-year mortality (14.2% vs 13.3%, p=0.77). Similarly, in the severe AVC group there was no difference between need for PPM implantation (12.8% vs 12.1%, p=0.9), major complications (19.7% vs 15.8%, p=0.4), and stroke (2.2% vs 1%, p=0.6) between males and females, respectively.
Conclusion
There were no sex differences in the impact of AVC score on mortality and post-procedural outcomes after TAVR.

Abstract
Long eyelashes have been popularized and many commercially available products exist to achieve eyelash growth as a desired cosmetic effect. Eyelash trichomegaly may be induced by medications, procedures, or be related to medical conditions; however, the exact mechanisms that govern eyelash growth are not well elucidated. This study aims to identify and summarize aetiologies associated with eyelash trichomegaly. We report a systematic review of 148 clinical trials, prospective and retrospective studies, and case reports describing all evidence-based potential aetiologies of eyelash trichomegaly obtained from the Medline/PubMed and Cochrane Library through January 2021. Inclusion criteria were defined as (i) human studies involving congenital and acquired diseases in which eyelash trichomegaly is a characteristic or (ii) assessment of trichomegaly as an adverse or desired effect of a medication or procedure. Exclusion criteria included: animal studies, articles not available in English, outcomes unrelated to eyelash trichomegaly, and secondary review articles. Pharmacologic agents associated with eyelash trichomegaly included prostaglandin analogues (15-keto fluprostenol isopropyl ester, bimatoprost, latanoprost, and travoprost), epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (cetuximab, erlotinib, and panitumumab), interferon-alpha, and calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus and cyclosporine). Surgical procedures of the eyelid, as well as allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, HIV, ichthyosis vulgaris (IV), uveitis, and vernal keratoconjunctivitis were also associated with increased eyelash growth. Congenital disorders associated with lengthened eyelashes included Cantú syndrome, CHOPS syndrome, Coffin-Siris syndrome, congenital heart disease, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Costello syndrome, familial trichomegaly, Floating Harbor syndrome, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, Kabuki-Makeup syndrome, KBG syndrome, Oliver-McFarlane syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, and Smith-Magenis syndrome. While the most common cause of eyelash trichomegaly is topical bimatoprost use, better understanding of pathways implicated in eyelash trichomegaly may lead to the discovery of additional medications to stimulate eyelash growth and create avenues for future therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Limited information exists in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) on the performance of next-generation sequencing–based assay of immunoglobulin gene rearrangements for minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment. Posttreatment peripheral blood samples were collected from 16 MCL patients and analyzed with the Adaptive Biotechnologies MRD assay, which identified early molecular relapse. We observed more sensitivity in the cellular versus acellular compartment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The value of population-based mammographic screening has been questioned by those who believe that the reduction in mortality from earlier diagnosis is outweighed by harms including overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Much of these commentaries assume that all Early-Stage Breast Cancer (ESBC) is treated the same way after diagnosis; with extensive therapies including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy being standard.
Intensity of treatment received is rarely mentioned in the debate. We hypothesised that those diagnosed through a screening program (Active Screeners (AS)) would receive less extensive surgical treatment and less intense adjuvant therapies than those not recently screened (NRS). If demonstrated, these differences would form an important component of the debate over the role of mammographic screening.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of a consecutive cohort of female patients aged 50-69 and managed for ESBC (invasive or DCIS) during 2007-2013 within a large metropolitan Breast Service, diagnosed either via a population screening program (AS) or outside of the program (NRS). Data on patient characteristics, symptoms, mode of detection, tumour pathology, surgical intervention and adjuvant treatment recommendations were derived from prospectively collected Multi-Disciplinary Meeting (MDM) records. Patients with metastatic disease or prior treatment for breast cancer were excluded.
Results
791 cases were identified (569 with screen-detected cancer, 53 with interval cancers and 169 cancers diagnosed in women not recently screened). Invasive cancers in the AS group were much smaller than in the NRS group – mean 17mm versus 26mm. The AS group had lower grade invasive cancer – grade 1, 2 and 3 were 27%, 42%, 31% - compared with 10%, 39% and 52% in the NRS group. The AS group were more likely to have ER+ve cancers (88% vs 80%) and less likely to have nodal involvement (26% vs 48%). For invasive breast cancer, the NRS group were more than twice as likely to undergo mastectomy than cancers in the AS group (35% vs 16%). Axillary dissections were more common in the NRS than the AS group (43% vs 19%). Adjuvant chemotherapy was recommended more frequently for the NRS group compared to the AS group (65% vs 37%), as was post mastectomy radiotherapy (58% vs 39%). Endocrine therapy was less often recommended to the NRS group (86% versus 77%).
Conclusion
Women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer who are participating in a population based screening program are less likely to receive mastectomy and/or axillary dissection, less likely to receive adjuvant chemotherapy and less likely to receive post-mastectomy radiotherapy. These differences in treatment intensity should be considered in the debate surrounding mammographic screening.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Germline CDH1 mutations are responsible for the increased risk of both gastric cancer and invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) in families with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome; yet germline CDH1 mutations in women with ILC without a family history (FH) of gastric cancer are rare. Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) is both a risk factor and non-obligate precursor of ILC and recent data suggest that germline CDH1 mutations may be present in up to 8% of patients with bilateral LCIS +/- ILC; raising questions about the role of genetic testing in this context. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of germline CDH1 mutations in a large prospectively followed cohort of patients with pathologically confirmed bilateral LCIS.
METHODS: Patients with a biopsy proven history of LCIS, entering surveillance or presenting for surgery (prophylactic or therapeutic mastectomy), between 2005 and 2013 were prospectively identified and enrolled in IRB approved protocols at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for the collection of tissue and/or germline DNA (IRB 01-135, 99-030). All biopsies were reviewed to confirm LCIS and mastectomy specimens were subject to extensive sampling of all quadrants. Cases with confirmed bilateral LCIS were chosen for the primary analysis. Cases where bilateral mastectomy tissue sampling confirmed only unilateral LCIS were included for comparison. Germline DNA was anonymized and analyzed for CDH1 mutations using targeted capture sequencing with baits for all exons of CDH1 on HiSeq2000. Germline single nucleotide variants were called using GATK HaplotypeCaller and insertions/deletions by Varscan and Scalpel. Mutations were manually inspected using the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV). Clinical data were abstracted prior to anonymization.
RESULTS: Germline DNA was available for 114 patients; 78 underwent bilateral mastectomy for breast cancer (BC), 8 chose prophylactic mastectomy and 28 patients with biopsy proven bilateral LCIS were identified in surveillance. Following mastectomy, tissue sampling confirmed bilateral LCIS in 67/86 (78%) patients, and ruled out bilateral LCIS in 19 patients; yielding 95 patients with bilateral LCIS for the primary analysis. Median age at LCIS diagnosis for bilateral and unilateral cases respectively was 48yrs (range 36-70) and 44 yrs (range 38-63). One patient with bilateral LCIS also reported a FH of gastric cancer. Pathogenic germline CDH1 mutations (D72N (missense) and E35* (nonsense)) were identified in 2/95 (2%) patients with bilateral LCIS, one of whom also had invasive breast cancer (ILC). A germline CDH1 mutation was not identified in the patient with bilateral LCIS and a FH of gastric cancer, nor were CDH1 mutations identified among the 19 patients with unilateral LCIS.
CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of 95 patients with pathologically documented bilateral LCIS +/- BC, the overall frequency of CDH1 germline mutations was 2%; considerably lower than previously reported. To our knowledge this is the largest series to address this question and these findings do not support germline testing for CDH1 mutations in women with bilateral LCIS.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the potential of Bacillus methylotrophicus as a probiotic. METHODS AND RESULTS A Bacillus isolate designated strain C14 was isolated from Korean traditional fermented soybean paste (doenjang). The strain was identified, and its physiological and biochemical properties were characterized. The gastrointestinal tolerance and immunomodulatory function of strain C14 were also investigated. Strain C14 was identified as B. methylotrophicus by analysis of its biochemical properties using the API 50CHB system and by phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence. Strain C14 showed >80% and >75% of survival for artificial gastric juices (pH 2.5 and 1% pepsin) and 0.5% (w/v) bile salt, respectively. Heat-killed B. methylotrophicus C14 inhibited the adhesion of various pathogens and enhanced the adhesion of probiotic bacteria to Caco-2 cells. The heat-killed cells also induced high levels of immune cell proliferation compared with the control and stimulated interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α production in mouse macrophages. CONCLUSIONS Bacillus methylotrophicus C14 could be used as a probiotic. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Recently identified B. methylotrophicus is a new potential probiotic with high gastrointestinal tolerance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment and fatigue have been associated with cancer and its treatment. We present baseline data from a large longitudinal study that evaluates cognitive function, fatigue, and potential underlying mechanisms following diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated CRC patients with stage I-III disease before or after surgery, participants with limited metastatic disease and healthy controls (HC). Neuropsychological evaluation included clinical and computerised tests. Participants completed questionnaires for fatigue and quality of life (QOL)-(FACT-F), anxiety/depression, and cognitive symptoms (FACT-Cog). Ten cytokines, clotting factors, sex hormones, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and apolipoprotein E genotype were evaluated. Primary end points were cognitive function on clinical tests evaluated by a Global Deficit score (GDS) and fatigue. Associations between test results, demographic, and disease related factors were explored. RESULTS We assessed 291 participants with early-stage disease [median age 59 (23-75) years, 63% men], 72 with metastatic disease, and 72 HC. Using GDS, 45% (126/281) of participants with early-stage CRC had cognitive impairment versus 15% (11/72) of HC (odds ratio 4.51, 95% confidence interval 2.28-8.93; P < 0.001), with complex processing speed, attention/working memory, and verbal learning efficiency being most affected. Women with early-stage CRC had greater cognitive impairment than men [55/105 (52%) versus 71/176 (40%), P < 0.050]. Cognitive symptoms were self-reported by 21% (59/286) of early-stage patients versus 17% (12/72) of HC; fatigue by 52% (149/287) of early-stage patients and 26% (19/72) of HC (P < 0.0001). Women reported more fatigue than men (P = 0.003). Fatigue, QOL, anxiety/depression, and cognitive symptoms were associated with each other (r = 0.43-0.71), but not with neuropsychological performance. Most cytokines were elevated in cancer patients. Cognitive function was not associated with cytokines, sex hormones, clotting factors, CEA, or apolipoprotein E genotype. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of cognitive impairment was three to five times higher in CRC patients than HC, with women having higher impairment rates than men. The cognitive impairment profile suggests dysfunction primarily in fronto-subcortical brain systems. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT00188331.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personal health records (PHRs) connected to a physician's electronic health record system hold substantial promise for supporting and engaging patients with chronic disease. OBJECTIVES To explore how U.S. health care organizations are currently utilizing PHRs for chronic disease populations. METHODS A mixed methods study including semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire was conducted. A purposive sample was developed of health care organizations which were recognized as exemplars for PHRs and were high performers in national patient satisfaction surveys (H-CAHPS or CAHPS). Within each organization, participants were health IT leaders or those managing high-risk or chronic disease populations. RESULTS Interviews were conducted with 30 informants and completed questionnaires were received from 16 organizations (84% response rate). Most PHRs allowed patients to access health records and educational material, message their provider, renew prescriptions and request appointments. Patient generated data was increasingly being sought and combined with messaging, resulted in greater understanding of patient health and functioning outside of the clinic visit. However for chronic disease populations, there was little targeted involvement in PHR design and few tools to help interpret and manage their conditions beyond those offered for all. The PHR was largely uncoupled from high risk population management interventions and no clear framework for future PHR development emerged. CONCLUSION This technology is currently underutilized and represents a major opportunity given the potential benefits of patient engagement and shared decision making. A coherent patient-centric PHR design and evaluation strategy is required to realize its potential and maximize this natural hub for multidisciplinary care co-ordination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Seroma formation, a common complication of abdominoplasty, can cause patient discomfort and inconvenience. This study aimed to compare seroma rates after ligation and diathermy of large abdominal perforating vessels during abdominoplasty. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing abdominoplasty with epigastric undermining between 2004 and 2011 were studied. Body mass index (BMI), age at operation, smoking history, preoperative weight loss, operative details, perioperative fluid infiltration, concomitant abdominal liposuction, ligation of perforators by clips, suture or diathermy, use of quilting sutures, weight of tissue removed, postoperative drainage, inpatient stay, and seroma rates were recorded. Statistical analysis was undertaken using the unpaired t test, Fisher's exact test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Kendall's tau-b test. RESULTS The study included 90 patients. The incidence of seroma was significantly lower among the patients who had perforators ligated (4/60, 6.7%) than among those who had diathermy (10/30, 33%) (p=0.002, Fisher's exact test). Seroma formation was significantly associated with a higher BMI, (27.45 vs. 25.16 kg/m2; p=0.025, t test) but not with preoperative weight loss. Postoperative fluid drainage did not differ significantly between ligated and diathermied perforators (p=0.716 Mann-Whitney U test). CONCLUSIONS Use of ligation by clip or suture rather than by diathermy to ablate large abdominal perforators significantly reduced the incidence of seroma among abdominoplasty patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Survivorship care (SC) has gained prominence as the number of patients disease free after breast cancer treatment increases, the specific needs of those patients become recognised, and funding to meet these demands is constrained. Involvement of Primary Care Practitioners in SC is seen as a solution, but models of Shared Care have met varying degrees of success. We report on a model that involves Specialist centres, Primary Care Practitioners and organisations, and a community based patient support organisation.
Patients and Methods
A consortium comprising two hospital based breast services – the Royal Melbourne/Royal Women's and Western Hospitals – a regional consortium of Primary Care Physicians, and BreaCan, a non-government peer support organisation for women diagnosed with breast cancer, collaborated to obtain and implement a government-supported Survivorship Care Program. Patients completing definitive treatment for early breast cancer were invited to a Nurse-led consultation where the disease, its pathology, treatment and follow-up were reviewed. Psychosocial and other issues were explored and a personalised SC plan was devised and agreed upon. This plan included Shared Care with the Primary Care Practitioner in the majority of cases. Unmet needs were identified and addressed. The SC plan was signed off by a senior breast cancer clinician and forwarded to the primary care physician for ratification. Evaluation included satisfaction surveys and interviews with patients and primary care physicians. Intensity of use of hospital based services was calculated and compared to a previous cohort of early breast cancer patients.
Results
282 patients completing definitive treatment were offered Nurse-led survivorship consultation. 29 declined, and 28 cancelled. At 31 May 2013, 148 care plans were completed, 38 were in preparation and 39 appointments were booked. Response to this initiative from hospital based specialists was positive. All believed that this program would reduce the amount of routine consultations and increase capacity for new or returning patients requiring specialist care. Primary care doctors overwhelmingly believed the survivorship care plan contained information needed to allow them to manage breast cancer survivors, and gave them confidence to take on this role, although there was some uncertainty regarding role delineation between Primary Care and hospital. Patient evaluation of the Nurse-led clinics was strongly positive. All reported finding out something during the consultation, and 94% said they considered the hospital and GP to be partners in their on-going follow-up care. Modelling suggests that about 5 fewer hospital appointments will be required for each patient managed under this program compared to routine hospital-based care.
Conclusions
Hospital based specialists embrace Survivorship care including shared care and patients expect it, while Primary physicians will participate if offered education, support and specific direction. A model including an end-of –treatment consultation and Shared care with Primary Practitioners appears to address many of the requirements for a successful Survivorship program.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Increasing evidence shows that physical exercise is beneficial for motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, and animal models suggest that it may help slow progression of disease. METHODS Using a randomized delayed-start design, 31 patients were randomized to an early start group (ESG) or a delayed start group (DSG) exercise program. The ESG underwent a rigorous formal group exercise program for 1 h, three days/week, for 48 weeks (November 2011-October 2012). The DSG participated in this identical exercise program from weeks 24-48. Outcome measures included the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Walking Test (get-up-and-go), Tinetti Mobility Test, PDQ-39 Questionnaire, and the Beck Depression Inventory. RESULTS There was minimal attrition in this study, with only one patient dropping out. Results did not show improvement in total UPDRS scores with early exercise. At week 48, the mean change from baseline total UPDRS score was 6.33 in the ESG versus 5.13 in the DSG (p = 0.58). However, patients randomized to the ESG scored significantly better on the Beck Depression Inventory, with a mean improvement of 1.07 points relative to those in the DSG (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The findings demonstrate that long-term, group exercise programs are feasible in the Parkinson's disease population, with excellent adherence and minimal drop out. While the outcome measures used in our study did not provide strong evidence that exercise has a neuroprotective effect on motor function, earlier participation in a group exercise program had a significant effect on symptoms of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many anaesthetics when given to young animals cause cell death and learning deficits that persist until much later in life. Recent attempts to compare the relative safety or toxicity between different agents have not adequately controlled for the relative dose of anaesthetic given, thereby making direct comparisons difficult. METHODS Isoflurane or sevoflurane were given at 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) for 4 h to postnatal day 7 (P7) rat pups. Beginning at P75 these animals underwent fear conditioning and at P83 Morris water maze testing to assess working memory, short-term memory and early long-term memory using delays of 1 min, 1 h, and 4 h. RESULTS No difference between groups was seen in fear conditioning experiments. Morris water maze learning was equivalent between groups, and no difference was seen in working memory. Sevoflurane-treated animals had a deficit in early long-term memory, and isoflurane-treated animals had a deficit in both short-term and early long-term memory. CONCLUSIONS Both isoflurane and sevoflurane delivered at 1 MAC for 4 h to immature rats caused a deficit in long-term memory. Isoflurane also caused a deficit in short-term memory. Isoflurane might be more detrimental than sevoflurane in very young animals.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do genetic associations identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of age at menarche (AM) and age at natural menopause (ANM) replicate in women of diverse race/ancestry from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study? SUMMARY ANSWER We replicated GWAS reproductive trait single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in our European descent population and found that many SNPs were also associated with AM and ANM in populations of diverse ancestry. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Menarche and menopause mark the reproductive lifespan in women and are important risk factors for chronic diseases including obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Both events are believed to be influenced by environmental and genetic factors, and vary in populations differing by genetic ancestry and geography. Most genetic variants associated with these traits have been identified in GWAS of European-descent populations. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A total of 42 251 women of diverse ancestry from PAGE were included in cross-sectional analyses of AM and ANM. MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS SNPs previously associated with ANM (n = 5 SNPs) and AM (n = 3 SNPs) in GWAS were genotyped in American Indians, African Americans, Asians, European Americans, Hispanics and Native Hawaiians. To test SNP associations with ANM or AM, we used linear regression models stratified by race/ethnicity and PAGE sub-study. Results were then combined in race-specific fixed effect meta-analyses for each outcome. For replication and generalization analyses, significance was defined at P < 0.01 for ANM analyses and P < 0.017 for AM analyses. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE We replicated findings for AM SNPs in the LIN28B locus and an intergenic region on 9q31 in European Americans. The LIN28B SNPs (rs314277 and rs314280) were also significantly associated with AM in Asians, but not in other race/ethnicity groups. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns at this locus varied widely among the ancestral groups. With the exception of an intergenic SNP at 13q34, all ANM SNPs replicated in European Americans. Three were significantly associated with ANM in other race/ethnicity populations: rs2153157 (6p24.2/SYCP2L), rs365132 (5q35/UIMC1) and rs16991615 (20p12.3/MCM8). While rs1172822 (19q13/BRSK1) was not significant in the populations of non-European descent, effect sizes showed similar trends. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Lack of association for the GWAS SNPs in the non-European American groups may be due to differences in locus LD patterns between these groups and the European-descent populations included in the GWAS discovery studies; and in some cases, lower power may also contribute to non-significant findings. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The discovery of genetic variants associated with the reproductive traits provides an important opportunity to elucidate the biological mechanisms involved with normal variation and disorders of menarche and menopause. In this study we replicated most, but not all reported SNPs in European descent populations and examined the epidemiologic architecture of these early reported variants, describing their generalizability and effect size across differing ancestral populations. Such data will be increasingly important for prioritizing GWAS SNPs for follow-up in fine-mapping and resequencing studies, as well as in translational research.
