| Research Abstract |
We have aimed to clarify the nature of genetic predisposition for sporadic cancers, influenced by genetic polymorphisms, such as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). By analyzing about 8,000 specimens, we found 53 SNP are related with at least one of 17 major cancers in Japan. Stratification of the data of the multiplied OR of overlapping SNP for each cancer and each individual revealed that about 15% and 1% of the Japanese represent the high- and the highest risk-group for most cancers, respectively. Other major findings are, about half of the SNPs at risk were replicated between two case/control data sets on 4 kinds of cancers, Risk-SNP combinations were largely different between genders, some SNPs were identified as those closely associated with cancer-progression or occurrence of specific gene alterations.
