摘要

Purpose

To investigate the joint impacts of genetic and non-genetic factors on breast cancer (BC) subtypes among Chinese females, and to investigate the performance of optimized subtype-specific polygenic risk scores (PRS) with less single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Methods

A total of 6,916 BC cases and 5,653 controls were used to assess the independent and joint impacts of PRS and non-genetic established risk score (ERS) on risks of overall and subtype-specific BC. The PRS were optimized by excluding low-penetrance SNPs until comparable area under receiver-operator-curve (AUCs) achieved.

Results

For the preliminary PRS with 21 Chinese BC-specific SNPs, the odds ratio (OR) of overall BC for the top decile compared to bottom decile (top-to-bottom decile) of PRS was 4.21 (95%CI: 3.47–5.10), and the OR per decile of PRS was 1.15 (95% CI: 1.13–1.16). For luminal A, luminal B, HER-2 enriched, and basal-like BC, the ORs for top-to-bottom decile were 4.58, 4.37, 3.08 and 2.90, respectively. After integrating four BC subtypes into two subtypes, relatively higher OR for top-to-bottom decile was observed for luminal BC than non-luminal BC (4.54 vs. 3.02), and a similar trend was for OR per decile (1.15 vs. 1.11). The optimized 13-SNP-PRS can achieve comparable performance of 21-SNP-PRS for luminal BC. After incorporating PRS into risk prediction of luminal BC, the AUC increased from 0.673 to 0.697, and the joint OR of PRS and ERS was 12.46(95%CI: 9.38–16.56). Similar performances of PRS were validated in UK biobank.

Conclusion

PRS can well identify Chinese women at high-risk of BC, especially for luminal BC, and should be incorporated into risk-stratified BC intervention.
