Title Discovery of novel non-small-cell lung cancer genes in an alternative polyadenylation transcriptome-wide association study
Relevance Medical
Data types Whole genome sequencing
Transcriptome or Gene expression
Organisms Homo sapiens
Description Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays an essential role in cancer carcinogenesis and prognosis. However, the molecular characteristics of APA related to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) susceptibility are understudied in East Asian populations. In this study, we constructed an atlas of APA-regulated 3'untranslated regions (3'UTR) profiles using RNA and matched DNA sequencing data from 417 Chinese NSCLC patients. We performed a 3'UTR APA transcriptome-wide association study (3'aTWAS) integrating genome-wide association studies in East Asians (7,035 cases and 185,413 controls) and identified three novel NSCLC-associated genes. In summary, we provided a road map for investigating the effects of genetic regulation in East Asian populations and demonstrated the substantial role of APA in NSCLC carcinogenesis and prognosis.
