摘要
The role of low frequency variants associated with telomere length homeostasis in chronic diseases and mortalities is relatively understudied in the East-Asian population. Here we evaluated low frequency variants, including 1,915,154 Asian specific variants, for leukocyte telomere length (LTL) associations among 25,533 Singapore Chinese samples. Three East Asian specific variants in/near POT1, TERF1 and STN1 genes are associated with LTL (Meta-analysis P 2.49x10(-14)-6.94x10(-10)). Rs79314063, a missense variant (p.Asp410His) at POT1, shows effect 5.3 fold higher and independent of a previous common index SNP. TERF1 (rs79617270) and STN1 (rs139620151) are linked to LTL-associated common index SNPs at these loci. Rs79617270 is associated with cancer mortality [HR95%CI = 1.544 (1.173, 2.032), P-Adj = 0.018] and 4.76% of the association between the rs79617270 and colon cancer is mediated through LTL. Overall, genetically determined LTL is particularly associated with lung adenocarcinoma [HR95%CI = 1.123 (1.051, 1.201), P-adj = 0.007]. Ethnicity-specific low frequency variants may affect LTL homeostasis and associate with certain cancers. Xuling Chang et al. study whether low frequency variants are associated with leukocyte telomere length and whether these variants predispose to incident cancers and mortalities among East Asians. They find that three East Asian specific variants at POT1, TERF1 and STN1 loci are associated with leukocyte telomere length and report a mechanistic pathway linking TERF1, leukocyte telomere length and incident colon cancer.
