Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contribution of germline genetics to regulating the briskness and diversity of T cell responses in CRC, we conducted a genome-wide association study to examine the associations between germline genetic variation and quantitative measures of T cell landscapes in 2,876 colorectal tumors from participants in the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study (MECC). METHODS Germline DNA samples were genotyped and imputed using genome-wide arrays. Tumor DNA samples were extracted from paraffin blocks, and T cell receptor clonality and abundance were quantified by immunoSEQ (Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, WA). Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes per high powered field (TILs/hpf) were scored by a gastrointestinal pathologist. Regression models were used to evaluate the associations between each variant and the three T-cell features, adjusting for sex, age, genotyping platform, and global ancestry. Three independent datasets were used for replication. RESULTS We identified a SNP (rs4918567) near RBM20 associated with clonality at a genome-wide significant threshold of 5 × 10- 8, with a consistent direction of association in both discovery and replication datasets. Expression quantitative trait (eQTL) analyses and in silico functional annotation for these loci provided insights into potential functional roles, including a statistically significant eQTL between the T allele at rs4918567 and higher expression of ADRA2A (P = 0.012) in healthy colon mucosa. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that germline genetic variation is associated with the quantity and diversity of adaptive immune responses in CRC. Further studies are warranted to replicate these findings in additional samples and to investigate functional genomic mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective Reduced diversity at Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) loci may adversely affect the host's ability to recognize tumor neoantigens and subsequently increase disease burden. We hypothesized that increased heterozygosity at HLA loci is associated with a reduced risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods We imputed HLA class I and II four-digit alleles using genotype data from a population-based study of 5,406 cases and 4,635 controls from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study (MECC). Heterozygosity at each HLA locus and the number of heterozygous genotypes at HLA class -I (A, B, and C) and HLA class -II loci (DQB1, DRB1, and DPB1) were quantified. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the risk of CRC associated with HLA heterozygosity. Individuals with homozygous genotypes for all loci served as the reference category, and the analyses were adjusted for sex, age, genotyping platform, and ancestry. Further, we investigated associations between HLA diversity and tumor-associated T cell repertoire features, as measured by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs; N=2,839) and immunosequencing (N=2,357). Results Individuals with all heterozygous genotypes at all three class I genes had a reduced odds of CRC (OR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.56-0.97, p= 0.031). A similar association was observed for class II loci, with an OR of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.60-0.95, p= 0.016). For class-I and class-II combined, individuals with all heterozygous genotypes had significantly lower odds of developing CRC (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.49-0.87, p= 0.004) than those with 0 or one heterozygous genotype. HLA class I and/or II diversity was associated with higher T cell receptor (TCR) abundance and lower TCR clonality, but results were not statistically significant. Conclusion Our findings support a heterozygote advantage for the HLA class-I and -II loci, indicating an important role for HLA genetic variability in the etiology of CRC.

Abstract
207 Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) among individuals younger than age 50 (young-onset CRC; YOCRC) has increased, yet the etiology and molecular mechanisms underlying this alarming rise remain unclear. Some studies suggest that YOCRCs have more aggressive biology. Here, we compare tumor-associated T cell repertoires between patients with YOCRC and average-onset CRC (AOCRC). A robust, focused T cell response is a positive prognostic indicator; therefore, we hypothesized that YOCRCs demonstrate lower T cell abundance and greater T cell diversity than AOCRCs. Methods: The discovery cohort included 242 patients with histologically confirmed Stage I-IV CRC who underwent surgical resection at Cleveland Clinic from 2000 to 2020 and consented to a biorepository. YOCRC was defined as < 50 years at diagnosis (N = 126), and AOCRC as > 60 years (N = 116). DNA was extracted from frozen tumors, and T Cell Receptor (TCR) abundance and clonality were measured using immunoSEQ (Adaptive Biotechnologies). Following quality control, logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between TCR repertoire features and age of onset, adjusting for sex, race, tumor location, and stage. Findings were replicated in 152 YOCRC and 1,984 AOCRC cases from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study with adjustment for sex, Jewish ethnicity, tumor location, and stage. Results: YOCRC patients were more likely to have left-sided tumors and be diagnosed at advanced stages in both cohorts. In the discovery cohort, YOCRC tumors had significantly lower TCR clonality (higher T cell diversity) compared to AOCRC tumors in a multivariable model adjusting for sex, race, tumor location and stage (OR: 0.38, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.25-0.56, p < 0.0001). This association was also observed in the replication cohort (OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89, p = 0.0013). In the replication cohort, further adjustment for microsatellite instability status did not substantially change the association (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61-0.88 p = 0.0012). When restricting to microsatellite stable tumors, clonality remained statistically significant in both the discovery and replication cohorts. No significant difference in TCR abundance was observed between YOCRC and AOCRC in either cohort. Conclusions: Higher T cell repertoire diversity, indicating a less focused intratumoral T cell response, is more frequently observed in YOCRC. Further studies are warranted to investigate the role of T cell diversity in the etiology and outcomes of YOCRC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are associated with higher breast cancer risk in observational studies, but ascribing causality is difficult. Mendelian randomisation (MR) assesses causality by simulating randomised trial groups using genotype. We assessed whether lifelong physical activity or sedentary time, assessed using genotype, may be causally associated with breast cancer risk overall, pre/post-menopause, and by case-groups defined by tumour characteristics. METHODS We performed two-sample inverse-variance-weighted MR using individual-level Breast Cancer Association Consortium case-control data from 130 957 European-ancestry women (69 838 invasive cases), and published UK Biobank data (n=91 105-377 234). Genetic instruments were single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated in UK Biobank with wrist-worn accelerometer-measured overall physical activity (nsnps=5) or sedentary time (nsnps=6), or accelerometer-measured (nsnps=1) or self-reported (nsnps=5) vigorous physical activity. RESULTS Greater genetically-predicted overall activity was associated with lower breast cancer overall risk (OR=0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42 to 0.83 per-standard deviation (SD;~8 milligravities acceleration)) and for most case-groups. Genetically-predicted vigorous activity was associated with lower risk of pre/perimenopausal breast cancer (OR=0.62; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.87,≥3 vs. 0 self-reported days/week), with consistent estimates for most case-groups. Greater genetically-predicted sedentary time was associated with higher hormone-receptor-negative tumour risk (OR=1.77; 95% CI 1.07 to 2.92 per-SD (~7% time spent sedentary)), with elevated estimates for most case-groups. Results were robust to sensitivity analyses examining pleiotropy (including weighted-median-MR, MR-Egger). CONCLUSION Our study provides strong evidence that greater overall physical activity, greater vigorous activity, and lower sedentary time are likely to reduce breast cancer risk. More widespread adoption of active lifestyles may reduce the burden from the most common cancer in women.

Abstract
Abstract
Diversity in Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes has been associated with risk of several diseases, including Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and ulcerative colitis. Reduced diversity at HLA loci may adversely affect the host’s ability to recognize foreign antigens and tumor neoantigens, and subsequently, increase disease burden. To better understand the role of inherited HLA diversity in colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, we utilized data from a population-based study of 10,347 participants (5,574 CRC cases and 4,773 healthy controls) from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study (MECC). Germline DNA samples were genotyped using genome-wide arrays, and HLA Class I and II four-digit resolution alleles were imputed using SNP2HLA and a reference panel of 5,225 individuals from the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium. Heterozygosity and homozygosity at each HLA locus and the number of homozygous genotypes at class I loci (A, B, C) and class II loci (DQB1, DRB1, DPB1) were quantified. To examine the joint effect of Class I and Class II loci, we combined the total number of homozygotes for all loci and categorized into 3 groups: heterozygotes at all loci, 1 to 4 homozygotes, or 5 or more homozygotes. Logistic regression was used to estimate the risk of CRC associated with HLA locus homozygosity. Individuals with heterozygous genotypes for all loci served as the reference category, and analyses were adjusted for sex, age, genotyping platform, and global ancestry. Individuals with homozygous genotypes at all 3 Class I genes had an increased risk of CRC when compared to those with heterozygous genotypes at all Class I loci (OR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.02-1.76, P = 0.033; Ptrend = 0.039). A similar association was observed for Class II loci, with an OR of 1.32 (95% CI: 1.05-1.65, P = 0.015; Ptrend = 0.157). For HLA Class I and II combined, individuals with five or more homozygous genotypes at HLA class I or II loci were at higher risk for developing CRC (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.24-2.73, P = 0.0023; Ptrend = 0.015), when compared to those with all heterozygous genotypes. Our findings support a heterozygote advantage at HLA class I and II loci as a protective factor for CRC. This indicates an important role for HLA genetic variability in the etiology of CRC potentially operating through a mechanism of decreased diversity of tumor neoantigens that can be displayed to the adaptive immune system.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: After decades of research on Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) founder mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA), there is still little known about genetics in non-AJ and Arab breast cancer populations in Israel and non-BRCA pathogenic variants (PV) in the total population. We used multigene panel testing (MGPT) to characterize the spectrum and prevalence of PV in cancer susceptibility genes in various Jewish and Arab demographic subgroups. Methods: A population-based cohort of women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 46 in a defined geographical area in Northern Israel was recruited as part of the BCINIS study and underwent MGPT. Probability matrices of proportion of PV by gene, and by ethnic sub-group (AJs, Sephardi Jews of North African origin, Sephardi Jews of other Eastern origins, Arabs), age-sub-group (35 and under, 36-45) and first-degree family history of breast, ovary or pancreatic cancer were calculated. Results: Overall, 1650 women were tested, including 1012 Jewish, 530 Arab and 108 non-Jewish/non-Arab women. We detected 375 PV among 363 women (22.7%): 212 in AJ (33.4% of AJs), 61 in Sephardi Jews (14.2% of Sephardi), and 69 in Arabs (13.0% of Arab). Only 162 of the PV (43.2%) were the BRCA AJ founders, another 39 BRCA PV (10.4%) were reported previously, while 15 BRCA PV (4.0%) are likely private. The remaining non-BRCA PV (42.4%) were distributed across 18 genes, with findings predominantly in CHEK2, MUTYH, ATM, BLM, ERCC3, PALB2, and FANCA. The prevalence of PV varied significantly across the ancestral subsets, from 95.5% probability in AJ women diagnosed before age 36 and with first degree family history to only 9.3% in Arab women diagnosed at age 36-45 and without family history. Conclusions: In this comprehensive, population-based, cohort of women with young onset breast cancer, the presence of PV in more than 15 genes is compelling and informs a necessarily broader approach to genetic testing and counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Approximately one in six women in the USA takes antidepressants and a third use selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) after breast cancer diagnosis. Recent investigation demonstrated serotonin receptor (5-HTR2B) expression in the breast and serotonin production as an indicator of poor breast cancer prognosis. This study investigates the association between SSRI use at different time intervals relative to breast cancer diagnosis on survival. METHODS A population-based sample of 6959 consecutive, newly diagnosed breast cancer cases in Northern Israel was included. Patients were recruited from January 2000 and followed up through March 2020. Participants completed risk factor questionnaires regarding medical, reproductive and family history, medication use and health habits. Full prescription data were available through the Israeli national Clalit medical database. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine survival based on time of SSRI use. RESULTS Use of SSRIs in the 5 years prior to breast cancer diagnosis was associated with a 66% increase in overall mortality (HRadj = 1.66; CI: 1.05-2.63). SSRI use that initiated after breast cancer diagnosis was associated with an 81% increase in mortality (HRadj = 1.81; CI: 1.58-2.06). Use of SSRIs in the 5 years post-diagnosis was associated with a dose-response increase (P < 0.001) in long-term mortality (>5 years). Heavy SSRI use (≥24 prescription fills) after diagnosis was associated with nearly doubling in mortality (HR = 1.99; CI: 1.39-2.83). CONCLUSION SSRI use prior to and after breast cancer diagnosis is associated with increased mortality in breast cancer patients. Additional research is needed to better understand mechanisms mediating this association.

Abstract
Breast cancer metastasis accounts for most of the deaths from breast cancer. Identification of germline variants associated with survival in aggressive types of breast cancer may inform understanding of breast cancer progression and assist treatment. In this analysis, we studied the associations between germline variants and breast cancer survival for patients with distant metastases at primary breast cancer diagnosis. We used data from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) including 1062 women of European ancestry with metastatic breast cancer, 606 of whom died of breast cancer. We identified two germline variants on chromosome 1, rs138569520 and rs146023652, significantly associated with breast cancer-specific survival (P = 3.19 × 10-8 and 4.42 × 10-8). In silico analysis suggested a potential regulatory effect of the variants on the nearby target genes SDE2 and H3F3A. However, the variants showed no evidence of association in a smaller replication dataset. The validation dataset was obtained from the SNPs to Risk of Metastasis (StoRM) study and included 293 patients with metastatic primary breast cancer at diagnosis. Ultimately, larger replication studies are needed to confirm the identified associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite a modest association between tobacco smoking and breast cancer risk reported by recent epidemiological studies, it is still equivocal whether smoking is causally related to breast cancer risk. METHODS We applied Mendelian randomisation (MR) to evaluate a potential causal effect of cigarette smoking on breast cancer risk. Both individual-level data as well as summary statistics for 164 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported in genome-wide association studies of lifetime smoking index (LSI) or cigarette per day (CPD) were used to obtain MR effect estimates. Data from 108,420 invasive breast cancer cases and 87,681 controls were used for the LSI analysis and for the CPD analysis conducted among ever-smokers from 26,147 cancer cases and 26,072 controls. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to address pleiotropy. RESULTS Genetically predicted LSI was associated with increased breast cancer risk (OR 1.18 per SD, 95% CI: 1.07-1.30, P = 0.11 × 10-2), but there was no evidence of association for genetically predicted CPD (OR 1.02, 95% CI: 0.78-1.19, P = 0.85). The sensitivity analyses yielded similar results and showed no strong evidence of pleiotropic effect. CONCLUSION Our MR study provides supportive evidence for a potential causal association with breast cancer risk for lifetime smoking exposure but not cigarettes per day among smokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the high heterogeneity among breast tumors, associations between common germline genetic variants and survival that may exist within specific subgroups could go undetected in an unstratified set of breast cancer patients. METHODS We performed genome-wide association analyses within 15 subgroups of breast cancer patients based on prognostic factors, including hormone receptors, tumor grade, age, and type of systemic treatment. Analyses were based on 91,686 female patients of European ancestry from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, including 7531 breast cancer-specific deaths over a median follow-up of 8.1 years. Cox regression was used to assess associations of common germline variants with 15-year and 5-year breast cancer-specific survival. We assessed the probability of these associations being true positives via the Bayesian false discovery probability (BFDP < 0.15). RESULTS Evidence of associations with breast cancer-specific survival was observed in three patient subgroups, with variant rs5934618 in patients with grade 3 tumors (15-year-hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] 1.32 [1.20, 1.45], P = 1.4E-08, BFDP = 0.01, per G allele); variant rs4679741 in patients with ER-positive tumors treated with endocrine therapy (15-year-HR [95% CI] 1.18 [1.11, 1.26], P = 1.6E-07, BFDP = 0.09, per G allele); variants rs1106333 (15-year-HR [95% CI] 1.68 [1.39,2.03], P = 5.6E-08, BFDP = 0.12, per A allele) and rs78754389 (5-year-HR [95% CI] 1.79 [1.46,2.20], P = 1.7E-08, BFDP = 0.07, per A allele), in patients with ER-negative tumors treated with chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS We found evidence of four loci associated with breast cancer-specific survival within three patient subgroups. There was limited evidence for the existence of associations in other patient subgroups. However, the power for many subgroups is limited due to the low number of events. Even so, our results suggest that the impact of common germline genetic variants on breast cancer-specific survival might be limited.

Abstract
Reproductive longevity is essential for fertility and influences healthy ageing in women1,2, but insights into its underlying biological mechanisms and treatments to preserve it are limited. Here we identify 290 genetic determinants of ovarian ageing, assessed using normal variation in age at natural menopause (ANM) in about 200,000 women of European ancestry. These common alleles were associated with clinical extremes of ANM; women in the top 1% of genetic susceptibility have an equivalent risk of premature ovarian insufficiency to those carrying monogenic FMR1 premutations3. The identified loci implicate a broad range of DNA damage response (DDR) processes and include loss-of-function variants in key DDR-associated genes. Integration with experimental models demonstrates that these DDR processes act across the life-course to shape the ovarian reserve and its rate of depletion. Furthermore, we demonstrate that experimental manipulation of DDR pathways highlighted by human genetics increases fertility and extends reproductive life in mice. Causal inference analyses using the identified genetic variants indicate that extending reproductive life in women improves bone health and reduces risk of type 2 diabetes, but increases the risk of hormone-sensitive cancers. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms that govern ovarian ageing, when they act, and how they might be targeted by therapeutic approaches to extend fertility and prevent disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An understanding of the etiologic heterogeneity of colorectal cancer (CRC) is critical for improving precision prevention, including individualized screening recommendations and the discovery of novel drug targets and repurposable drug candidates for chemoprevention. Known differences in molecular characteristics and environmental risk factors among tumors arising in different locations of the colorectum suggest partly distinct mechanisms of carcinogenesis. The extent to which the contribution of inherited genetic risk factors for CRC differs by anatomical subsite of the primary tumor has not been examined. DESIGN To identify new anatomical subsite-specific risk loci, we performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses including data of 48 214 CRC cases and 64 159 controls of European ancestry. We characterised effect heterogeneity at CRC risk loci using multinomial modelling. RESULTS We identified 13 loci that reached genome-wide significance (p<5×10-8) and that were not reported by previous GWASs for overall CRC risk. Multiple lines of evidence support candidate genes at several of these loci. We detected substantial heterogeneity between anatomical subsites. Just over half (61) of 109 known and new risk variants showed no evidence for heterogeneity. In contrast, 22 variants showed association with distal CRC (including rectal cancer), but no evidence for association or an attenuated association with proximal CRC. For two loci, there was strong evidence for effects confined to proximal colon cancer. CONCLUSION Genetic architectures of proximal and distal CRC are partly distinct. Studies of risk factors and mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and precision prevention strategies should take into consideration the anatomical subsite of the tumour.

Abstract
Abstract
The quantity and quality of immune responses in colorectal cancers (CRC) are widely variable and have important clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic implications. We studied clinical and epidemiologic factors that might influence T-cell quantity and clonality within colorectal adenocarcinomas to better understand the drivers of diverse immune responses. Incident cases of CRC from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study (MECC) were interviewed, and 6,006 cases had complete epidemiologic data. Archived tumor blocks were retrieved from 3,865 (64.4%) cases, and all were reviewed by a single expert pathologist who quantified TILS/hpf. Sufficient tissue for macrodissection and measurement of TCR abundance and clonality using the immunoSEQ assay (Adaptive Biotechnologies) was available and completed for 2,750 cases. Logistic regression, negative binomial regression and linear regression models were used to evaluate potential associations between clinical and epidemiologic variables for: TILS/hpf, TCR abundance, and T-cell clonality. The stage distribution was representative of cancer incidence in the population, and the MSI-H phenotype was observed in 14.2% of cases. Clinical, pathologic, and epidemiologic variables including aspirin, alcohol, diet, hormone use, physical activity, smoking, and statins were assessed in relation to immune measures. Among other findings, >5 years of statins (p<0.001) and daily aspirin (p=0.037) were each strongly associated with T-cell clonality. Our study suggests that important parameters of the adaptive immune response may be mediated by modifiable factors. Mechanisms regulating immune responses in CRC may have implications for chemoprevention as well as immunotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Adaptive immune responses in the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer (CRC) play an important role in prognosis. However, the contributions of germline genetic variations to the strength and diversity of T cell responses in CRC are unclear. We conducted a genome-wide association study to examine the relationships between germline genetic variants and measures of the T cell repertoire in colorectal tumors. Germline DNA samples from 5,581 CRC cases recruited into the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Study (MECC) were genotyped in batches using four different platforms. Genotype data were imputed to the Haplotype Reference Consortium panel separately by genotyping platform. Tumor DNA samples were extracted from paraffin blocks, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes per high powered field (TILs/hpf) were quantified by a single gastrointestinal pathologist. TCR abundance and clonality within individual CRCs were measured using the immunoSEQ assay (Adaptive Biotechnologies). Appropriate quality control steps and data transformations were applied to fit downstream statistical modeling assumptions. After standard quality control on both imputed genotypes and transformed immune metrics, 2,876 (TILs/hpf) and 2,395 (TCR abundance and clonality) cases with approximately 9 million imputed genetic variants were included in the discovery phase. Logistic or linear regression models were used to evaluate the associations between allelic dosage of each variant and each immune-related outcome, adjusting for sex, age at diagnosis, genotyping platform, and principal components for global ancestry. Three independent datasets were available to replicate our findings using similar quality control measures and regression models: Colonomics (N=96; TILs/hpf, TCR abundance, clonality), the CRC Genetics Study (N=162; TCR abundance, clonality), and the Harvard Cohorts (N=505; TILs/hpf; in progress). The discovery phase identified 5 independent genetic variants associated with TILs/hpf, 15 associated with TCR abundance, and 19 associated with clonality at p<5X10E-06. Replication analyses as well as expression quantitative trait analyses and in silico functional annotation are underway for the loci of interest. Our study suggests that germline genetic variation is associated with the quantity and quality of adaptive immune responses in CRC.

Abstract
Abstract
Immune responses to colorectal cancer (CRC) are important prognostic factors as measured by either tumor infiltrating lymphocytes per high powered field or the presence of Crohn's like lymphoid reaction. New technologies to quantify specific features of immune responses include immunoSeq (Adaptive Biotechnologies), which accurately quantifies T-cell receptor (TCR) abundance and T-cell receptor clonality. Here we measured the independent contributions of TCR abundance and TCR clonality to 5-year CRC-specific survival in the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC) study. The MECC study consented, interviewed, and followed 6,006 incident cases of CRC diagnosed between March 31, 1998 and July 1, 2017 (median follow-up time = 6.9 years). Archived paraffin blocks were retrieved, and 2,750 cases had sufficient tissue and adequate DNA extraction to perform the immunoSeq assay. Analyses were restricted to 1,625 samples with more than 100 T-cells to permit accurate quantification of TCR abundance and TCR clonality as measured by Simpson Clonality Index. TCR abundance was log2 transformed for analyses, and Simpson Clonality Index was log2-transformed and z-scale normalized separately by assay version. In unadjusted models, dichotomized log2 transformed TCR abundance (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-0.71, p=9.77E-08) and dichotomized TCR clonality (HR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.63-0.94, p=0.01) were each statistically significantly associated with 5-year CRC-specific survival. In a model with adjustment for age, sex, microsatellite instability, stage and assay version, both dichotomized log2 transformed TCR abundance (HR = 0.61, 95% CI, 0.49-0.75, p=3.03E-06), and dichotomized TCR clonality (HR = 0.81, 95% CI, 0.66-0.99, p=0.048) were associated with improved 5-year disease-specific survival.
Conclusion: TCR abundance and TCR clonality are independent prognostic indicators in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not known whether modifiable lifestyle factors that predict survival after invasive breast cancer differ by subtype. METHODS We analyzed data for 121,435 women diagnosed with breast cancer from 67 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium with 16,890 deaths (8,554 breast cancer specific) over 10 years. Cox regression was used to estimate associations between risk factors and 10-year all-cause mortality and breast cancer-specific mortality overall, by estrogen receptor (ER) status, and by intrinsic-like subtype. RESULTS There was no evidence of heterogeneous associations between risk factors and mortality by subtype (P adj > 0.30). The strongest associations were between all-cause mortality and BMI ≥30 versus 18.5-25 kg/m2 [HR (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.19 (1.06-1.34)]; current versus never smoking [1.37 (1.27-1.47)], high versus low physical activity [0.43 (0.21-0.86)], age ≥30 years versus <20 years at first pregnancy [0.79 (0.72-0.86)]; >0-<5 years versus ≥10 years since last full-term birth [1.31 (1.11-1.55)]; ever versus never use of oral contraceptives [0.91 (0.87-0.96)]; ever versus never use of menopausal hormone therapy, including current estrogen-progestin therapy [0.61 (0.54-0.69)]. Similar associations with breast cancer mortality were weaker; for example, 1.11 (1.02-1.21) for current versus never smoking. CONCLUSIONS We confirm associations between modifiable lifestyle factors and 10-year all-cause mortality. There was no strong evidence that associations differed by ER status or intrinsic-like subtype. IMPACT Given the large dataset and lack of evidence that associations between modifiable risk factors and 10-year mortality differed by subtype, these associations could be cautiously used in prognostication models to inform patient-centered care.

Abstract
A substantial fraction of patients with stage I-III colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) experience disease relapse after surgery with curative intent. However, biomarkers for predicting the likelihood of CRC relapse have not been fully explored. Therefore, we assessed the association between tumor infiltration by a broad array of innate and adaptive immune cell types and CRC relapse risk. We implemented a discovery-validation design including a discovery dataset from Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC; Tampa, FL) and three independent validation datasets: (1) GSE41258 (2) the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC) study, and (3) GSE39582. Infiltration by 22 immune cell types was inferred from tumor gene expression data, and the association between immune infiltration by each cell type and relapse-free survival was assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Within each of the four independent cohorts, CD4+ memory activated T cell (HR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.90-0.96; FDR = 0.0001) infiltration was associated with longer time to disease relapse, independent of stage, microsatellite instability, and adjuvant therapy. Based on our meta-analysis across the four datasets, 10 innate and adaptive immune cell types associated with disease relapse of which 2 were internally validated using multiplex immunofluorescence. Moreover, immune cell type infiltration was a better predictors of disease relapse than Consensus Molecular Subtype (CMS) and other expression-based biomarkers (Immune-AICMCC:238.1-238.9; CMS-AICMCC: 241.0). These data suggest that transcriptome-derived immune profiles are prognostic indicators of CRC relapse and quantification of both innate and adaptive immune cell types may serve as candidate biomarkers for predicting prognosis and guiding frequency and modality of disease surveillance.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the prevalence of elevated liver aminotransferases (ALT) and additional comorbidities in a large cohort of Israeli children and adolescents with overweight and obesity. METHODS This study included data from medical records of 2- to 18-year-old children and adolescents, with body mass index (BMI) in the overweight or obesity range (WHO definitions), for whom ALT testing was performed. RESULTS Overweight was present in 50 418 (10.7%) and obesity in 70 515 (15.0%). Elevated ALT, above 30 IU/L (0.51 μkat/L), was reported in 2245 (7.2%) of children with overweight and 5475 (16.8%) of children with obesity (P < .0001). Compared to children with overweight and obesity and ALT within normal range, children with elevated ALT were older (11.9 ± 4.2 vs 10.9 ± 4.2, P < .001), mostly male (68.0% vs 49.4%, P < .001) and had higher BMI (27.3 ± 6.1vs 24.0 ± 4.8, P < .001). They also had a more unfavourable cardiometabolic profile with significantly higher either systolic or diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglycerides, and had more than three criteria defining metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION In this large cohort, abnormally elevated ALT was present in a high number of individuals with overweight or obesity. The children and adolescents with abnormal ALT had higher BMI, were older, male and had more cardiometabolic risk factors.

Abstract
We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72 284 cases and 80 354 controls from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. Interactions were evaluated using standard logistic regression and a newly developed case-only method for breast cancer risk overall and by estrogen receptor status. After accounting for multiple testing, we did not find evidence that per-standard deviation PRS313 odds ratio differed across strata defined by individual risk factors. Goodness-of-fit tests did not reject the assumption of a multiplicative model between PRS313 and each risk factor. Variation in projected absolute lifetime risk of breast cancer associated with classical risk factors was greater for women with higher genetic risk (PRS313 and family history) and, on average, 17.5% higher in the highest vs lowest deciles of genetic risk. These findings have implications for risk prevention for women at increased risk of breast cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers varies by genetic and familial factors. About 50 common variants have been shown to modify BC risk for mutation carriers. All but three, were identified in general population studies. Other mutation carrier-specific susceptibility variants may exist but studies of mutation carriers have so far been underpowered. We conduct a novel case-only genome-wide association study comparing genotype frequencies between 60,212 general population BC cases and 13,007 cases with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. We identify robust novel associations for 2 variants with BC for BRCA1 and 3 for BRCA2 mutation carriers, P < 10-8, at 5 loci, which are not associated with risk in the general population. They include rs60882887 at 11p11.2 where MADD, SP11 and EIF1, genes previously implicated in BC biology, are predicted as potential targets. These findings will contribute towards customising BC polygenic risk scores for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies provide strong evidence for a role of endogenous sex hormones in the aetiology of breast cancer. The aim of this analysis was to identify genetic variants that are associated with urinary sex-hormone levels and breast cancer risk. METHODS We carried out a genome-wide association study of urinary oestrone-3-glucuronide and pregnanediol-3-glucuronide levels in 560 premenopausal women, with additional analysis of progesterone levels in 298 premenopausal women. To test for the association with breast cancer risk, we carried out follow-up genotyping in 90,916 cases and 89,893 controls from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. All women were of European ancestry. RESULTS For pregnanediol-3-glucuronide, there were no genome-wide significant associations; for oestrone-3-glucuronide, we identified a single peak mapping to the CYP3A locus, annotated by rs45446698. The minor rs45446698-C allele was associated with lower oestrone-3-glucuronide (-49.2%, 95% CI -56.1% to -41.1%, P = 3.1 × 10-18); in follow-up analyses, rs45446698-C was also associated with lower progesterone (-26.7%, 95% CI -39.4% to -11.6%, P = 0.001) and reduced risk of oestrogen and progesterone receptor-positive breast cancer (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.82-0.91, P = 6.9 × 10-8). CONCLUSIONS The CYP3A7*1C allele is associated with reduced risk of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer possibly mediated via an effect on the metabolism of endogenous sex hormones in premenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI) is a complex phenotype that may interact with genetic variants to influence colorectal cancer risk. METHODS We tested multiplicative statistical interactions between BMI (per 5 kg/m2) and approximately 2.7 million single nucleotide polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk among 14 059 colorectal cancer case (53.2% women) and 14 416 control (53.8% women) participants. All analyses were stratified by sex a priori. Statistical methods included 2-step (ie, Cocktail method) and single-step (ie, case-control logistic regression and a joint 2-degree of freedom test) procedures. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS Each 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI was associated with higher risks of colorectal cancer, less so for women (odds ratio [OR] = 1.14, 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.11 to 1.18; P = 9.75 × 10-17) than for men (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.20 to 1.32; P = 2.13 × 10-24). The 2-step Cocktail method identified an interaction for women, but not men, between BMI and a SMAD7 intronic variant at 18q21.1 (rs4939827; Pobserved = .0009; Pthreshold = .005). A joint 2-degree of freedom test was consistent with this finding for women (joint P = 2.43 × 10-10). Each 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI was more strongly associated with colorectal cancer risk for women with the rs4939827-CC genotype (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.16 to 1.32; P = 2.60 × 10-10) than for women with the CT (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.19; P = 1.04 × 10-8) or TT (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.14; P = .02) genotypes. CONCLUSION These results provide novel insights on a potential mechanism through which a SMAD7 variant, previously identified as a susceptibility locus for colorectal cancer, and BMI may influence colorectal cancer risk for women.

Abstract
PURPOSE A substantial fraction of all non-small cell lung cancers(NSCLC) carry a mutation in the EGFR gene for which an effective treatment with anti-tyrosine kinases(TKIs) is available. We studied the long term survival of these patients following the introduction of TKIs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN All consecutive cases of NSCLC newly diagnosed with advanced disease were referred for free tumor EGFR mutation testing at Clalit's national personalized medicine laboratory. Mutations and deletions in target codons 18-21 of EGFR were sought using RT-PCR and fragment analysis. Comprehensive EMRs were used to collect full data on treatments and clinical status. RESULTS A cohort of 3,062 advanced NSCLC cases, included 481(15.7%) somatic EGFR mutation carriers (17.5% of all adenocarcinomas, 26.7% of females with adenocarcinomas). TKIs treatment to EGFR mutation carriers was provided to 85% of all eligible. After a median follow up period of 15.9 months for EGFR mutated cases the hazard ratio for overall survival of EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated with TKIs was 0.55(0.49-0.63, p<0.0001) when compared with EGFR wild-type(WT) tumors under usual care. After adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, smoking history and tumor histology, all of which had an independently significant effect on survival, the HR for TKI-treated, EGFR-mutated tumors, was 0.63 (0.55-0.71, p<0.0001). Treating EGFR-WT cases with TKIs yielded a high HR=1.32 (1.19-1.48). CONCLUSIONS TKIs given to EGFR mutated advanced NSCLC demonstrated a substantial survival benefit for at least five years. Squamous histology, smoking, male sex and Arab ethnicity were associated with higher NSCLC mortality hazard. Treating non-EGFR-mutated NSCLC with TKIs seems detrimental. Statement of Significance: • TKIs given to EGFR mutated advanced NSCLC demonstrated a substantial survival benefit for at least five years but not much longer. • Treating non-EGFR-mutated NSCLC with TKIs seems detrimental and should probably be avoided. • Squamous histology of non-small cell lung cancer, smoking history, male sex and Arab ethnicity were associated with altogether higher NSCLC mortality hazard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes has been associated with increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic drug, but not other anti-diabetic drugs, has been associated with reduced risk of breast and of colon cancers in some, but not in other, studies. METHODS Data from two large-scale, population-based, case-control studies of breast and colorectal cancers etiology, conducted in Northern Israel since 1998 were analyzed to evaluate the association between regular use (>3 times) of metformin prior to diagnosis and risk of developing cancer. The multivariate analyses for both cancer sites included age, family history of breast/colorectal cancer, history of diabetes, sports participation, fruits/vegetables consumption, aspirin and statins use, and for breast cancer, also included use of oral contraceptives and postmenopausal hormones and number of pregnancies. Use of metformin and diabetes status were determined based on valid electronic medical records of the participants. RESULTS Metformin use prior to diagnosis of cancer was associated with a decrease in risk of both breast cancer (OR = 0.821, 0.726-0.928, p = 0.002) and colorectal cancer (OR = 0.754, 0.623-0.912, p = 0.004). An inverse association was not identified with use of other anti-diabetic medications. Diabetes was found to be associated with risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 1.204, 1.014-1.431, p = 0.034) but not of breast cancer. No dose response by years of use of metformin was found. CONCLUSION These analyses of large population-based studies provide evidence of a strong inverse association of metformin with breast and, even more so, with colorectal cancer risk.

Abstract
In breast cancer, high levels of homeobox protein Hox-B13 (HOXB13) have been associated with disease progression of ER-positive breast cancer patients and resistance to tamoxifen treatment. Since HOXB13 p.G84E is a prostate cancer risk allele, we evaluated the association between HOXB13 germline mutations and breast cancer risk in a previous study consisting of 3,270 familial non-BRCA1/2 breast cancer cases and 2,327 controls from the Netherlands. Although both recurrent HOXB13 mutations p.G84E and p.R217C were not associated with breast cancer risk, the risk estimation for p.R217C was not very precise. To provide more conclusive evidence regarding the role of HOXB13 in breast cancer susceptibility, we here evaluated the association between HOXB13 mutations and increased breast cancer risk within 81 studies of the international Breast Cancer Association Consortium containing 68,521 invasive breast cancer patients and 54,865 controls. Both HOXB13 p.G84E and p.R217C did not associate with the development of breast cancer in European women, neither in the overall analysis (OR = 1.035, 95% CI = 0.859-1.246, P = 0.718 and OR = 0.798, 95% CI = 0.482-1.322, P = 0.381 respectively), nor in specific high-risk subgroups or breast cancer subtypes. Thus, although involved in breast cancer progression, HOXB13 is not a material breast cancer susceptibility gene.

Abstract
Breast cancer susceptibility variants frequently show heterogeneity in associations by tumor subtype1-3. To identify novel loci, we performed a genome-wide association study including 133,384 breast cancer cases and 113,789 controls, plus 18,908 BRCA1 mutation carriers (9,414 with breast cancer) of European ancestry, using both standard and novel methodologies that account for underlying tumor heterogeneity by estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status and tumor grade. We identified 32 novel susceptibility loci (P < 5.0 × 10-8), 15 of which showed evidence for associations with at least one tumor feature (false discovery rate < 0.05). Five loci showed associations (P < 0.05) in opposite directions between luminal and non-luminal subtypes. In silico analyses showed that these five loci contained cell-specific enhancers that differed between normal luminal and basal mammary cells. The genetic correlations between five intrinsic-like subtypes ranged from 0.35 to 0.80. The proportion of genome-wide chip heritability explained by all known susceptibility loci was 54.2% for luminal A-like disease and 37.6% for triple-negative disease. The odds ratios of polygenic risk scores, which included 330 variants, for the highest 1% of quantiles compared with middle quantiles were 5.63 and 3.02 for luminal A-like and triple-negative disease, respectively. These findings provide an improved understanding of genetic predisposition to breast cancer subtypes and will inform the development of subtype-specific polygenic risk scores.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC, in persons younger than 50 years old) is increasing in incidence; yet, in the absence of a family history of CRC, this population lacks harmonized recommendations for prevention. We aimed to determine whether a polygenic risk score (PRS) developed from 95 CRC-associated common genetic risk variants was associated with risk for early-onset CRC. METHODS We studied risk for CRC associated with a weighted PRS in 12,197 participants younger than 50 years old vs 95,865 participants 50 years or older. PRS was calculated based on single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with CRC in a large-scale genome-wide association study as of January 2019. Participants were pooled from 3 large consortia that provided clinical and genotyping data: the Colon Cancer Family Registry, the Colorectal Transdisciplinary Study, and the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium and were all of genetically defined European descent. Findings were replicated in an independent cohort of 72,573 participants. RESULTS Overall associations with CRC per standard deviation of PRS were significant for early-onset cancer, and were stronger compared with late-onset cancer (P for interaction = .01); when we compared the highest PRS quartile with the lowest, risk increased 3.7-fold for early-onset CRC (95% CI 3.28-4.24) vs 2.9-fold for late-onset CRC (95% CI 2.80-3.04). This association was strongest for participants without a first-degree family history of CRC (P for interaction = 5.61 × 10-5). When we compared the highest with the lowest quartiles in this group, risk increased 4.3-fold for early-onset CRC (95% CI 3.61-5.01) vs 2.9-fold for late-onset CRC (95% CI 2.70-3.00). Sensitivity analyses were consistent with these findings. CONCLUSIONS In an analysis of associations with CRC per standard deviation of PRS, we found the cumulative burden of CRC-associated common genetic variants to associate with early-onset cancer, and to be more strongly associated with early-onset than late-onset cancer, particularly in the absence of CRC family history. Analyses of PRS, along with environmental and lifestyle risk factors, might identify younger individuals who would benefit from preventive measures.

Abstract
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with 22 disease-causing genes reported to date. In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk associations of others remain unknown. The gene for FA type C, FANCC, has been proposed as a breast cancer susceptibility gene based on epidemiological and sequencing studies. We used the Oncoarray project to genotype two truncating FANCC variants (p.R185X and p.R548X) in 64,760 breast cancer cases and 49,793 controls of European descent. FANCC mutations were observed in 25 cases (14 with p.R185X, 11 with p.R548X) and 26 controls (18 with p.R185X, 8 with p.R548X). There was no evidence of an association with the risk of breast cancer, neither overall (odds ratio 0.77, 95%CI 0.44-1.33, p = 0.4) nor by histology, hormone receptor status, age or family history. We conclude that the breast cancer risk association of these two FANCC variants, if any, is much smaller than for BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations. If this applies to all truncating variants in FANCC it would suggest there are differences between FA genes in their roles on breast cancer risk and demonstrates the merit of large consortia for clarifying risk associations of rare variants.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are prognostic and predictive biomarkers in colorectal cancer and are associated with improved prognosis and response to immunotherapy. While TILs are routinely assessed by pathologists, a standardized technique (immunoSEQ, Adaptive Biotechnologies) that leverages targeted next-generation sequencing can also be used to quantify and characterize the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of individual colorectal cancers. In a large, population-based study of incident colorectal cancer, the host immune responses were measured by an expert pathologist and ImmunoSEQ to understand the relationships between TILs, TCRs/cell and specific subgroups of colorectal cancer. Methods: Incident cases of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC) study included 1,000 cancers that were uniformly evaluated for TILs and other histopathologic features by one pathologist. FFPE-derived DNA from microdissected tumor tissue was extracted and sequenced using ImmunoSEQ analysis for the same 1,000 individuals. A resulting quantitative metric from this assay includes TCRs/cell, a measure of rearranged T cell quantity relative to all nucleated cells in a tumor sample. Gene expression in snap-frozen tissue available from 342/1,000 MECC colorectal cancers was measured with Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Arrays (U133A and U133 Plus2.0) as previously described. CMS classification was performed using the R package 3.5.1, CMS classifier, randomForest 4.6-14. Multivariate analysis assessed CMS by age, gender, TILs/HPF, TCRs/cell, MSI status, BRAF and KRAS mutational status. Results: TILs/HPF and TCRs/cell were significantly correlated among all 1000 cases (r=0.5, p<0.001). Among the 342 cases with available expression profiles, CMS1 constituted 12.0% of all CRC, with CMS2 (41.8%), CMS3 (8.5%), and CMS4 (13.7%) and unclassified (24%) representing the remaining distribution. There were statistically significant differences in the molecular and histopathologic features of colorectal cancers by CMS subgroups. MSI-H tumors were most frequently observed within CMS1 cancers (56.6% of CMS1 were MSI-H), with lower representation among CMS2 (1.5%), CMS3 (10%), CMS4 (3.5%), and unclassified CRC (9.5%) (p<0.0001). In addition, BRAF positive tumors were more frequently observed within the CMS1 group (12.2%, p =0.0065) and KRAS positive tumors within the CMS3 group (31%, p<0.0001). Consistent with prior reports, TILs/HPF were significantly higher in the CMS1 group (mean=7.7, p<0.0001). Similar statistically significant trends were observed across classes for TCRs/cell (mean=0.16, p=0.04). Conclusions: Subtypes of CRC have distinct histopathologic and molecular features that can be distinguished by expression profiles and immunoSEQ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). Circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) is also moderately associated with CRC risk. However, observational studies are susceptible to unmeasured confounding or reverse causality. Using genetic risk variants as instrumental variables, we investigated the causal relationship between genetically elevated CRP concentration and CRC risk, using a Mendelian randomization approach. METHODS Individual-level data from 30 480 CRC cases and 22 844 controls from 33 participating studies in three international consortia were used: the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO), the Colorectal Transdisciplinary Study (CORECT) and the Colon Cancer Family Registry (CCFR). As instrumental variables, we included 19 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with CRP concentration. The SNP-CRC associations were estimated using a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, principal components and genotyping phases. An inverse-variance weighted method was applied to estimate the causal effect of CRP on CRC risk. RESULTS Among the 19 CRP-associated SNPs, rs1260326 and rs6734238 were significantly associated with CRC risk (P = 7.5 × 10-4, and P = 0.003, respectively). A genetically predicted one-unit increase in the log-transformed CRP concentrations (mg/l) was not associated with increased risk of CRC [odds ratio (OR) = 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.97, 1.12; P = 0.256). No evidence of association was observed in subgroup analyses stratified by other risk factors. CONCLUSIONS In spite of adequate statistical power to detect moderate association, we found genetically elevated CRP concentration was not associated with increased risk of CRC among individuals of European ancestry. Our findings suggested that circulating CRP is unlikely to be a causal factor in CRC development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the associations between germline variants and breast cancer mortality using a large meta-analysis of women of European ancestry. METHODS Meta-analyses included summary estimates based on Cox models of twelve datasets using ~10.4 million variants for 96,661 women with breast cancer and 7697 events (breast cancer-specific deaths). Oestrogen receptor (ER)-specific analyses were based on 64,171 ER-positive (4116) and 16,172 ER-negative (2125) patients. We evaluated the probability of a signal to be a true positive using the Bayesian false discovery probability (BFDP). RESULTS We did not find any variant associated with breast cancer-specific mortality at P < 5 × 10-8. For ER-positive disease, the most significantly associated variant was chr7:rs4717568 (BFDP = 7%, P = 1.28 × 10-7, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.84-0.92); the closest gene is AUTS2. For ER-negative disease, the most significant variant was chr7:rs67918676 (BFDP = 11%, P = 1.38 × 10-7, HR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.16-1.39); located within a long intergenic non-coding RNA gene (AC004009.3), close to the HOXA gene cluster. CONCLUSIONS We uncovered germline variants on chromosome 7 at BFDP < 15% close to genes for which there is biological evidence related to breast cancer outcome. However, the paucity of variants associated with mortality at genome-wide significance underpins the challenge in providing genetic-based individualised prognostic information for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 42 loci (P < 5 × 10-8) associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Expanded consortium efforts facilitating the discovery of additional susceptibility loci may capture unexplained familial risk. METHODS We conducted a GWAS in European descent CRC cases and control subjects using a discovery-replication design, followed by examination of novel findings in a multiethnic sample (cumulative n = 163 315). In the discovery stage (36 948 case subjects/30 864 control subjects), we identified genetic variants with a minor allele frequency of 1% or greater associated with risk of CRC using logistic regression followed by a fixed-effects inverse variance weighted meta-analysis. All novel independent variants reaching genome-wide statistical significance (two-sided P < 5 × 10-8) were tested for replication in separate European ancestry samples (12 952 case subjects/48 383 control subjects). Next, we examined the generalizability of discovered variants in East Asians, African Americans, and Hispanics (12 085 case subjects/22 083 control subjects). Finally, we examined the contributions of novel risk variants to familial relative risk and examined the prediction capabilities of a polygenic risk score. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS The discovery GWAS identified 11 variants associated with CRC at P < 5 × 10-8, of which nine (at 4q22.2/5p15.33/5p13.1/6p21.31/6p12.1/10q11.23/12q24.21/16q24.1/20q13.13) independently replicated at a P value of less than .05. Multiethnic follow-up supported the generalizability of discovery findings. These results demonstrated a 14.7% increase in familial relative risk explained by common risk alleles from 10.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.9% to 13.7%; known variants) to 11.9% (95% CI = 9.2% to 15.5%; known and novel variants). A polygenic risk score identified 4.3% of the population at an odds ratio for developing CRC of at least 2.0. CONCLUSIONS This study provides insight into the architecture of common genetic variation contributing to CRC etiology and improves risk prediction for individualized screening.

Abstract
Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total of 296,215 cases and 301,319 controls of European ancestry, here we estimate the pair-wise genetic correlations between breast, colorectal, head/neck, lung, ovary and prostate cancer, and between cancers and 38 other diseases. We observed statistically significant genetic correlations between lung and head/neck cancer (rg = 0.57, p = 4.6 × 10-8), breast and ovarian cancer (rg = 0.24, p = 7 × 10-5), breast and lung cancer (rg = 0.18, p =1.5 × 10-6) and breast and colorectal cancer (rg = 0.15, p = 1.1 × 10-4). We also found that multiple cancers are genetically correlated with non-cancer traits including smoking, psychiatric diseases and metabolic characteristics. Functional enrichment analysis revealed a significant excess contribution of conserved and regulatory regions to cancer heritability. Our comprehensive analysis of cross-cancer heritability suggests that solid tumors arising across tissues share in part a common germline genetic basis.

Abstract
Stratification of women according to their risk of breast cancer based on polygenic risk scores (PRSs) could improve screening and prevention strategies. Our aim was to develop PRSs, optimized for prediction of estrogen receptor (ER)-specific disease, from the largest available genome-wide association dataset and to empirically validate the PRSs in prospective studies. The development dataset comprised 94,075 case subjects and 75,017 control subjects of European ancestry from 69 studies, divided into training and validation sets. Samples were genotyped using genome-wide arrays, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected by stepwise regression or lasso penalized regression. The best performing PRSs were validated in an independent test set comprising 11,428 case subjects and 18,323 control subjects from 10 prospective studies and 190,040 women from UK Biobank (3,215 incident breast cancers). For the best PRSs (313 SNPs), the odds ratio for overall disease per 1 standard deviation in ten prospective studies was 1.61 (95%CI: 1.57-1.65) with area under receiver-operator curve (AUC) = 0.630 (95%CI: 0.628-0.651). The lifetime risk of overall breast cancer in the top centile of the PRSs was 32.6%. Compared with women in the middle quintile, those in the highest 1% of risk had 4.37- and 2.78-fold risks, and those in the lowest 1% of risk had 0.16- and 0.27-fold risks, of developing ER-positive and ER-negative disease, respectively. Goodness-of-fit tests indicated that this PRS was well calibrated and predicts disease risk accurately in the tails of the distribution. This PRS is a powerful and reliable predictor of breast cancer risk that may improve breast cancer prevention programs.

Abstract
To further dissect the genetic architecture of colorectal cancer (CRC), we performed whole-genome sequencing of 1,439 cases and 720 controls, imputed discovered sequence variants and Haplotype Reference Consortium panel variants into genome-wide association study data, and tested for association in 34,869 cases and 29,051 controls. Findings were followed up in an additional 23,262 cases and 38,296 controls. We discovered a strongly protective 0.3% frequency variant signal at CHD1. In a combined meta-analysis of 125,478 individuals, we identified 40 new independent signals at P < 5 × 10-8, bringing the number of known independent signals for CRC to ~100. New signals implicate lower-frequency variants, Krüppel-like factors, Hedgehog signaling, Hippo-YAP signaling, long noncoding RNAs and somatic drivers, and support a role for immune function. Heritability analyses suggest that CRC risk is highly polygenic, and larger, more comprehensive studies enabling rare variant analysis will improve understanding of biology underlying this risk and influence personalized screening strategies and drug development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between statin exposure in a dose-dependent manner and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in a large nationwide study. METHODS The computerized database of the largest health care provider in Israel was used to identify diagnosed ICH among new users of statins, who started statin treatment between 2005 and 2010. We assessed a dose-response relationship between ICH and statins, using the average atorvastatin equivalent daily dose (AAEDD). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models, adjusted for baseline disease risk score, were applied to estimate the hazard ratio of ICH. RESULTS Of the 345,531 included patients, 1,304 were diagnosed with ICH during a median follow-up of 9.5 years (interquartile range 7.6-11.0). Overall, 75.3% of patients had AAEDD <10 mg/d, 19.0% had AAEDD 0-19.9 mg/d, and 5.7% had AAEDD ≥20 mg/d. The corresponding proportions were 81.0%, 15.0%, 4.0% among ICH cases, and 75.3%, 19.0%, 5.7% among non-ICH cases. Compared to those with AAEDD <10 mg/d (reference), the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for ICH was 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.58-0.79) in those with AAEDD 10-19.9 mg/d, and 0.62 (0.47-0.81) in those with AAEDD ≥20 mg/d. Compared to the lowest baseline total cholesterol quartile, the adjusted HR for ICH was 0.71 (95% CI 0.62-0.82), 0.55 (0.47-0.64), and 0.57 (0.49-0.67) in those in the second, third, and highest quartiles, respectively. The results were similar and robust among highly persistent statin users and after controlling for the change in cholesterol level. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms that the risk of ICH decreases with increasing cholesterol levels, but suggests that statin use might be associated with decreased risk of ICH.

Abstract
Abstract
Mounting evidence suggests that a prominent T cell response in the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor microenvironment is a valuable prognostic indicator, independent of stage at diagnosis. However, the strength and quality of host immune responses are highly variable across patients, and the factors that influence this variability are not well understood. The unique microbial communities present in the CRC tumor microenvironment may contribute to the modulation of local host immune responses, but prior investigations have been limited and focused on candidate microbes. Here, we investigated the association between the CRC tumor bacterial microbiome and the quantity and clonality of the T cell infiltrate. This investigation included 51 CRC from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC) study, a population-based case-control study in northern Israel. Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh frozen tumors using microbiome-optimized techniques and sequenced using a PCR amplicon-mediated workflow on the Illumina MiSeq. Sequences from the V1-V3 hypervariable regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene region were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), a proxy for species, and taxonomic identification was determined using the Ribosomal Database Project. In addition, T cell repertoires were measured using the DNA-based immunoSEQ assay (Adaptive Biotechnologies), and T cell fraction (i.e. proportion of rearranged T cells relative to all nucleated cells) and clonality (i.e. T cell receptor diversity) were calculated. Bacterial sequencing was successful in 48 (94%) of samples, with a total of 868 OTUs identified. Klebsiella and Escherichia/Shigella were the most prevalent genera, detected in approximately 90% of tumors, followed by Propionibacterium, Pelomonas, and Veillonella, with each detected in approximately 50% of tumors. Fusobacterium, a genus of oral anaerobic bacteria believed to accelerate tumor progression and enable immune evasion in CRC, was detected in 20% of tumors. When present, Bacteroides and Fusobacterium were the most abundant, comprising 10-15% of all bacteria within each tumor, on average. ImmunoSEQ analysis identified a mean productive T cell fraction of 0.08 (SD: 0.16) and a mean productive clonality of 0.14 (SD: 0.06). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) of the Theta YC measure of dissimilarity showed a statistically significant difference in bacterial community structure (i.e. composition and relative abundance) between samples in the highest versus lower three quartiles of T cell fraction (P=0.03) and clonality (P=0.01). These preliminary findings suggest a potential relationship between microbial community structure and the quantity and diversity of the CRC T cell infiltrate. Additional analyses are underway to better understand this association as well as the independent contributions of the microbiome to CRC prognosis.

Abstract
The breast cancer risk variants identified in genome-wide association studies explain only a small fraction of the familial relative risk, and the genes responsible for these associations remain largely unknown. To identify novel risk loci and likely causal genes, we performed a transcriptome-wide association study evaluating associations of genetically predicted gene expression with breast cancer risk in 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls of European ancestry. We used data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project to establish genetic models to predict gene expression in breast tissue and evaluated model performance using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Of the 8,597 genes evaluated, significant associations were identified for 48 at a Bonferroni-corrected threshold of P < 5.82 × 10-6, including 14 genes at loci not yet reported for breast cancer. We silenced 13 genes and showed an effect for 11 on cell proliferation and/or colony-forming efficiency. Our study provides new insights into breast cancer genetics and biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and risk of cancer has been suggested in several studies, including prospective cohort studies. However, the magnitude and the temporal nature of this association remain unclear. METHODS Data from two large prospective population-based case-control studies, the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC, n = 8,383) and the Breast Cancer in Northern Israel Study (BCINIS, n = 11,608), were used to better understand the nature and temporality of a possible association between cancer diagnosis and AF events before and after cancer diagnosis. A case-control study approach was employed to study prior AF as a risk factor for cancer, and a cohort study approach was employed to study incident cancer as a risk factor for AF. RESULTS AF was associated with a significant reduced odds of cancer as reflected in the case-control approach, with an adjusted OR = 0.77 (95% CI, 0.65-0.91), while cancer was not found to be significantly associated with elevated risk of AF in the cohort approach, with an adjusted HR = 1.10 (0.98-1.23). The immediate period (90 days) after an AF event was associated with a 1.85 times increased risk of cancer, and the immediate period after the diagnosis of cancer was associated with a 3.4 fold increased risk of AF. These findings probably reflect both the effect of acute transient conditions associated with new cancer diagnosis and detection bias. Similar results were identified with colorectal and breast cancer cases. CONCLUSIONS Atrial fibrillation of longer than 90 days duration is associated with reduced odds of new cancer diagnosis. The results of this study suggest that an association observed in prior research may be due to instances related to cancer diagnosis and detection bias rather than a causal relationship. However, there may be bias in the sampling and residual confounding that distort the associations.

Abstract
Most common breast cancer susceptibility variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of predominantly estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease. We conducted a GWAS using 21,468 ER-negative cases and 100,594 controls combined with 18,908 BRCA1 mutation carriers (9,414 with breast cancer), all of European origin. We identified independent associations at P < 5 × 10-8 with ten variants at nine new loci. At P < 0.05, we replicated associations with 10 of 11 variants previously reported in ER-negative disease or BRCA1 mutation carrier GWAS and observed consistent associations with ER-negative disease for 105 susceptibility variants identified by other studies. These 125 variants explain approximately 16% of the familial risk of this breast cancer subtype. There was high genetic correlation (0.72) between risk of ER-negative breast cancer and breast cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers. These findings may lead to improved risk prediction and inform further fine-mapping and functional work to better understand the biological basis of ER-negative breast cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast cancer risk remains unknown. Here we report the results of a genome-wide association study of breast cancer in 122,977 cases and 105,974 controls of European ancestry and 14,068 cases and 13,104 controls of East Asian ancestry. We identified 65 new loci that are associated with overall breast cancer risk at P < 5 × 10-8. The majority of credible risk single-nucleotide polymorphisms in these loci fall in distal regulatory elements, and by integrating in silico data to predict target genes in breast cells at each locus, we demonstrate a strong overlap between candidate target genes and somatic driver genes in breast tumours. We also find that heritability of breast cancer due to all single-nucleotide polymorphisms in regulatory features was 2-5-fold enriched relative to the genome-wide average, with strong enrichment for particular transcription factor binding sites. These results provide further insight into genetic susceptibility to breast cancer and will improve the use of genetic risk scores for individualized screening and prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coffee contains several bioactive compounds relevant to colon physiology. Although coffee intake is a proposed protective factor for colorectal cancer, current evidence remains inconclusive. METHODS We investigated the association between coffee consumption and risk of colorectal cancer in 5,145 cases and 4,097 controls from the Molecular Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer (MECC) study, a population-based case-control study in northern Israel. We also examined this association by type of coffee, by cancer site (colon and rectum), and by ethnic subgroup (Ashkenazi Jews, Sephardi Jews, and Arabs). Coffee data were collected by interview using a validated, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. RESULTS Coffee consumption was associated with 26% lower odds of developing colorectal cancer [OR (drinkers vs. non-drinkers), 0.74; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64-0.86; P < 0.001]. The inverse association was also observed for decaffeinated coffee consumption alone (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68-0.99; P = 0.04) and for boiled coffee (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.71-0.94; P = 0.004). Increasing consumption of coffee was associated with lower odds of developing colorectal cancer. Compared with <1 serving/day, intake of 1 to <2 servings/day (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.68-0.90; P < 0.001), 2 to 2.5 servings/day (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.51-0.68; P < 0.001), and >2.5 servings/day (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.39-0.54; P < 0.001) were associated with significantly lower odds of colorectal cancer (Ptrend < 0.001), and the dose-response trend was statistically significant for both colon and rectal cancers. CONCLUSIONS Coffee consumption may be inversely associated with risk of colorectal cancer in a dose-response manner. IMPACT Global coffee consumption patterns suggest potential health benefits of the beverage for reducing the risk of colorectal cancer. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 25(4); 634-9. ©2016 AACR.

Abstract
Purpose: Bisphosphonates are used for treatment or prevention of osteoporosis and of bone metastases. The use of oral bisphosphonates was suggested to be associated with reduced risk of developing breast cancer, and their positive influence on breast cancer survival was only demonstrated with third-generation bisphosphonates. We studied the association of use of oral bisphosphonates after breast cancer diagnosis on overall and breast cancer survival.Experimental Design: A nested case-control analysis was performed using data from the population-based Breast Cancer in Northern Israel Study (BCINIS). Participants were postmenopausal women with newly diagnosed breast cancer insured by Clalit. Use of second-generation bisphosphonates (alendronate and/or risedronate) was identified using computerized prescription records. The analysis was restricted to women who did not use bisphosphonates prior to diagnosis.Results: In a cohort of 3,731 postmenopausal women with breast cancer, followed up for an average of 70 months, there were 799 cases of death which were matched to 15,915 control periods of living breast cancer cases. Use of bisphosphonates after diagnosis for at least 18 months was significantly more common among survivors than among their matched controls who died, adjusted for tumor stage/grade (overall survival: OR = 0.63, 0.41-0.96, P = 0.03; breast cancer-specific survival: OR = 0.28, 0.09-0.91, P = 0.035). A similar advantageous effect, but statistically underpowered, was found in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, ER-negative, and HER2neu-positive tumors.Conclusions: The use of oral bisphosphonates, by postmenopausal, probably osteoporotic, women initiated after diagnosis of breast cancer was associated with a significant improvement in overall and breast-specific odds of survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While clinical outcomes from colorectal cancer (CRC) are influenced by stage at diagnosis and treatment, mounting evidence suggests that an enhanced lymphocytic reaction to a tumor may also be an informative prognostic indicator. METHODS The roles of intratumoral T lymphocyte infiltration (TIL), peritumoral Crohn's-like lymphoid reaction (CLR), microsatellite instability (MSI), and clinicopathological characteristics in survival from CRC were examined using 2369 incident CRCs from a population-based case-control study in northern Israel. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CRC-specific and all-cause mortality in multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, grade, stage, and MSI. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS Tumors with TIL/high-powered field (HPF) of 2 or greater were associated with a statistically significant increase in CRC-specific (P < .001) and overall survival (P < .001) compared with tumors with TIL/HPF of less than 2. Similarly, tumors with a prominent CLR experienced better CRC-specific (P < .001) and overall survival (P < .001) as compared with those with no response. High TILs (HR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.64 to 0.89, P < .001) and a prominent CLR (HR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.62 to 0.80, P < .001), but not MSI, were associated with a statistically significant reduction in all-cause mortality after adjustment for established prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS TILs and CLR are both prognostic indicators for CRC after adjusting for traditional prognostic indicators.

Abstract
We tested for germline variants showing association to colon cancer metastasis using a genome-wide association study that compared Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with stage IV metastatic colon cancers versus those with stage I or II non-metastatic colon cancers. In a two-stage study design, we demonstrated significant association to developing metastatic disease for rs60745952, that in Ashkenazi discovery and validation cohorts, respectively, showed an odds ratio (OR) = 2.3 (P = 2.73E-06) and OR = 1.89 (P = 8.05E-04) (exceeding validation threshold of 0.0044). Significant association to metastatic colon cancer was further confirmed by a meta-analysis of rs60745952 in these datasets plus an additional Ashkenazi validation cohort (OR = 1.92; 95% CI: 1.28–2.87), and by a permutation test that demonstrated a significantly longer haplotype surrounding rs60745952 in the stage IV samples. rs60745952, located in an intergenic region on chromosome 4q31.1, and not previously associated with cancer, is, thus, a germline genetic marker for susceptibility to developing colon cancer metastases among Ashkenazi Jews.

Abstract
Lung cancer rates in Israeli Jews have remained stable over the last five decades and are much lower than in most developed countries despite high historical smoking rates. We compared lung cancer risk in Jews and non-Jews in Israel and in the United States. Data were derived from a population-based, case-control study in Israel (638 cases, 496 controls) to estimate lung cancer risk associated with smoking. Data were also acquired from a case-control study in the United States with information on religious affiliation (5,093 cases, 4,735 controls). Smoking was associated with lung cancer risk in all religion/gender groups in both studies. However, major differences in risk magnitude were noted between Jews and non-Jews; ever smoking was associated with a moderately elevated risk of lung cancer in Jewish men and women in Israel (OR = 4.61, 2.90-7.31 and OR = 2.10, 1.36-3.24, respectively), and in Jewish men and women in the United States (OR = 7.63, 5.34-10.90 and OR = 8.50, 5.94-12.17) but were significantly higher in Israeli non-Jewish men (OR = 12.96, 4.83-34.76) and US non-Jewish men and women (OR = 11.33, 9.09-14.12 and OR = 12.78, 10.45-15.63). A significant interaction between smoking and religion was evident in light, moderate and heavy male and female smokers. The differences in risk level between Israeli Jews and non-Jews could not be explained by lung cancer genetic risk variants which were identified in GWAS (genes in the CHRNA5, TERT and CLPTM1L regions). Data from the two studies support the notion of a reduced risk of lung cancer in Jewish compared to non-Jewish smokers in different areas of the world.

Abstract
We developed radioactivity-based and fluorescence-based assays for the DNA repair enzyme APE1 and showed that its decreased activity is associated with increased lung cancer risk. This suggests that ‘bad DNA repair’ rather than ‘bad luck’ is involved in cancer etiology. The key role of DNA repair in removing DNA damage and minimizing mutations makes it an attractive target for cancer risk assessment and prevention. Here we describe the development of a robust assay for apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1; APEX1), an essential enzyme involved in the repair of oxidative DNA damage. APE1 DNA repair enzymatic activity was measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cell protein extracts using a radioactivity-based assay, and its association with lung cancer was determined using conditional logistic regression with specimens from a population-based case–control study with 96 lung cancer cases and 96 matched control subjects. The mean APE1 enzyme activity in case patients was 691 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 655–727] units/ng protein, significantly lower than in control subjects (mean = 793, 95% CI = 751–834 units/ng protein, P = 0.0006). The adjusted odds ratio for lung cancer associated with 1 SD (211 units) decrease in APE1 activity was 2.0 (95% CI = 1.3–3.1; P = 0.002). Comparison of radioactivity- and fluorescence-based assays showed that the two are equivalent, indicating no interference by the fluorescent tag. The APE1Asp148Glu SNP was associated neither with APE1 enzyme activity nor with lung cancer risk. Taken together, our results indicate that low APE1 activity is associated with lung cancer risk, consistent with the hypothesis that ‘bad DNA repair’, rather than ‘bad luck’, is involved in cancer etiology. Such assays may be useful, along with additional DNA repair biomarkers, for risk assessment of lung cancer and perhaps other cancers, and for selecting individuals to undergo early detection techniques such as low-dose CT.

Abstract
DNA repair is a major mechanism for minimizing mutations and reducing cancer risk. Here, we present the development of reproducible and specific enzymatic assays for methylpurine DNA glycosylase (MPG) repairing the oxidative lesions 1,N6-ethenoadenine (εA) and hypoxanthine (Hx) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells protein extracts. Association of these DNA repair activities with lung cancer was determined using conditional logistic regression with specimens from a population-based case-control study with 96 lung cancer cases and 96 matched control subjects. The mean MPG-εA in case patients was 15.8 units/μg protein (95% CI 15.3-16.3), significantly higher than in control subjects-15.1 (14.6-15.5), *P = 0.011. The adjusted odds ratio for lung cancer associated with a one SD increase in MPG-εA activity (2.48 units) was significantly bigger than 1 (OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.1-2.4; *P = 0.013). When activity of OGG1, a different DNA repair enzyme for oxidative damage, was included in the model, the estimated odds ratio/SD for a combined MPG-εA-OGG1 score was 2.6 (95% CI 1.6-4.2) *P = 0.0001, higher than the odds ratio for each single assay. The MPG enzyme activity assays described provide robust functional risk biomarkers, with increased MPG-εA activity being associated with increased lung cancer risk, similar to the behavior of MPG-Hx. This underscores the notion that imbalances in DNA repair, including high DNA repair, usually perceived as beneficial, can cause cancer risk. Such DNA repair risk biomarkers may be useful for risk assessment of lung cancer and perhaps other cancer types, and for early detection techniques such as low-dose CT.
