The PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) consortium: Ten years' experience of association studies to understand the genetic architecture of pancreatic cancer

Daniele Campa et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is a deadly disease with few known risk factors and susceptibility loci. The rarity of the disease and lack of adequate research power have hindered progress in understanding its genetic mechanisms. However, the PANDoRA consortium, the largest in Europe, has made significant contributions in discovering susceptibility loci, which will be crucial in developing preventive strategies.

Uncovering variable neoplasms between ATM protein-truncating and common missense variants using 394 694 UK Biobank exomes

Xiao Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the independent effects of ATM missense variants and protein-truncating variants on neoplasms. The results showed that protein-truncating variants of the ATM gene were significantly associated with malignant neoplasm phenotypes, while missense variants were associated with other tumor-related phenotypes, independently of clinically relevant protein-truncating variants.

Nasa Sinnott-Armstrong et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank, identifying 1,857 loci associated with at least one trait. Through Mendelian randomization analysis, 51 causal relationships were discovered, including previously known agonistic effects of urate on gout and cystatin C on stroke. Finally, by developing polygenic risk scores and building 'multi-PRS' models, genetic risk stratification for common diseases was improved.

Summary: This study estimated cancer risks associated with ATM pathogenic variants independently of family history, showing that some variants may have higher breast cancer risks than previously recognized. Increased screening for prostate and gastric cancer may be warranted for carriers of ATM pathogenic variants.

Identification of Recessively Inherited Genetic Variants Potentially Linked to Pancreatic Cancer Risk

Ye Lu et al.

Summary: In this study, a re-analysis of pancreatic cancer GWAS data identified six SNPs associated with pancreatic cancer risk under a recessive genetic model. The results suggest the importance of considering non-additive genetic models in GWAS analysis and provide potential candidates for further meta-analysis to improve polygenic risk scores for pancreatic cancer. Additional bioinformatic analysis revealed a possible relationship between specific SNPs and genes known to be involved in pancreatic biology.
