Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior work has demonstrated differences in the transcriptome between those with and without chronic musculoskeletal pain. AIMS The aim of this study was to explore whether pain-related gene expression is similar between individuals with and without dementia. DESIGN This was a descriptive study using a one-time assessment. SETTINGS PARTICIPANTS/SUBJECTS: A total of 20 older adults living in a continuing care retirement community, 50% of whom had dementia were inlcuded in this study. All were female and the mean age of participants was 89 (SD = 6). METHODS Pain was evaluated based on the PROMIS Pain Intensity Short Form 3a. Whole blood was collected by venipuncture into Tempus vacutainer tubes (3 ml) and the RNA was extracted at the Translational Genomics Laboratory at the University of Maryland Baltimore. Analyses included a differential expression analysis, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and a pathway enrichment analysis. RESULTS Eighty-three genes were differentially expressed between individuals with and without pain (p <.05). After normalizing gene counts and removing the low expressed genes, 18,028 genes were left in the final analysis. There was no clustering of the samples related to study variables of pain or dementia. CONCLUSION The findings from this study provided some preliminary support that pain-related gene expression is similar between individuals with and without dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Painful, treatment-resistant wounds are prevalent among diabetic patients and significantly affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Topical treatments may help alleviate pain without risk of dependence or side effects. However, there is a lack of topical wound compounds targeting pain-specific receptors. One possible target is proinflammatory angiotensin 1 receptor (AT1R), which is upregulated in diabetic skin and has been implicated in nociception. OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of topical valsartan, an AT1R antagonist, on pain (nociceptive thresholds) and gene expression changes (transcriptomics) in a swine model of diabetic wounds. METHODS Eight wounds were surgically induced in diabetic, hyperglycemic Yucatan miniature swine ( n = 4). Topical AT1R antagonist was applied to wounds on one side and vehicle on the other side. Nocifensive testing was conducted at baseline and then weekly, beginning 7 days after wound induction. Mechanical and thermal stimuli were applied to the wound margins until a nocifensive reaction was elicited or a predetermined cutoff was reached. After 7 weeks of testing, tissue from the dorsal horn, dorsal root ganglion, and wounds were sequenced and analyzed with DESeq2. Unbiased pathway analyses using Metascape were conducted on differentially expressed genes. RESULTS There was no significant difference in mechanical tolerance threshold between AT1R antagonist-treated and vehicle-treated wounds ( p = .106). Thermal tolerance was significantly higher in AT1R antagonist-treated wounds compared to vehicle-treated ( p = .015). Analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed enriched pathways of interest: interleukin-18 signaling in dorsal horn laminae IV-V and sensory perception of mechanical stimulus in wound tissue. DISCUSSION In this study, wounds modeling diabetic ulcers were created in hyperglycemic swine and treated with a topical AT1R antagonist. AT1R-antagonist-treated wounds had a higher tolerance threshold than vehicle-treated wounds for thermal hyperalgesia, but not mechanical allodynia. Pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes revealed several pathways of interest for future pain research. Although further studies are needed to confirm the findings, this study can improve nursing care by providing information about a potential future treatment that may be used to decrease pain and improve HRQOL in patients with diabetic wounds.

Abstract
There is an increased incidence of autism among the children of women who take the anti-epileptic, mood-stabilizing drug, valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy; moreover, exposure to VPA in utero causes autistic-like symptoms in rodents and non-human primates. Analysis of RNA-seq data obtained from E12.5 fetal mouse brains 3 hours after VPA administration to the pregnant dam revealed that VPA rapidly and significantly increased or decreased the expression of approximately 7,300 genes. No significant sex differences in VPA-induced gene expression were observed. Expression of 399 autism risk genes was significantly altered by VPA as was expression of 255 genes that have been reported to play fundamental roles in fetal brain development but are not otherwise linked to autism. Expression of genes associated with intracellular signaling pathways, neurogenesis, and excitation-inhibition balance as well as synaptogenesis, neuronal fate determination, axon and dendritic development, neuroinflammation, circadian rhythms, and epigenetic modulation of gene expression was dysregulated by VPA. The goal of this study was to identify mouse genes that are: (a) significantly up- or down-regulated by VPA in the fetal brain and (b) known to be associated with autism and/or to play a role in embryonic neurodevelopmental processes, perturbation of which has the potential to alter brain connectivity and, consequently behavior, in the adult. The set of genes meeting these criteria provides potential targets for future hypothesis-driven studies to elucidate the proximal causes of errors in brain connectivity underlying neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of mood disorders in large case-control cohorts have identified numerous risk loci, yet pathophysiological mechanisms remain elusive, primarily due to the very small effects of common variants. We sought to discover risk variants with larger effects by conducting a genome-wide association study of mood disorders in a founder population, the Old Order Amish (OOA, n = 1,672). Our analysis revealed four genome-wide significant risk loci, all of which were associated with >2-fold relative risk. Quantitative behavioral and neurocognitive assessments (n = 314) revealed effects of risk variants on sub-clinical depressive symptoms and information processing speed. Network analysis suggested that OOA-specific risk loci harbor novel risk-associated genes that interact with known neuropsychiatry-associated genes via gene interaction networks. Annotation of the variants at these risk loci revealed population-enriched, non-synonymous variants in two genes encoding neurodevelopmental transcription factors, CUX1 and CNOT1. Our findings provide insight into the genetic architecture of mood disorders and a substrate for mechanistic and clinical studies.

Abstract
Inflammation early in life is a clinically established risk factor for autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia, yet the impact of inflammation on human brain development is poorly understood. The cerebellum undergoes protracted postnatal maturation, making it especially susceptible to perturbations contributing to the risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, using single-cell genomics of postmortem cerebellar brain samples, we characterized the postnatal development of cerebellar neurons and glia in 1- to 5-year-old children, comparing individuals who had died while experiencing inflammation with those who had died as a result of an accident. Our analyses revealed that inflammation and postnatal cerebellar maturation are associated with extensive, overlapping transcriptional changes primarily in two subtypes of inhibitory neurons: Purkinje neurons and Golgi neurons. Immunohistochemical analysis of a subset of these postmortem cerebellar samples revealed no change to Purkinje neuron soma size but evidence for increased activation of microglia in those children who had experienced inflammation. Maturation-associated and inflammation-associated gene expression changes included genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders. A gene regulatory network model integrating cell type-specific gene expression and chromatin accessibility identified seven temporally specific gene networks in Purkinje neurons and suggested that inflammation may be associated with the premature down-regulation of developmental gene expression programs.

Abstract
PURPOSE CA19-9 synthesis is influenced by common variants in the fucosyltransferase (FUT) enzymes FUT3 and FUT2. We developed a clinical test to detect FUT variants, and evaluated its diagnostic performance for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A representative set of controls from the Cancer of the Pancreas Screening study was identified for each FUT functional group. Diagnostic sensitivity was determined first in a testing set of 234 PDAC cases, followed by a 134-case validation set, all of whom had undergone resection with curative intent without neoadjuvant therapy. Tumor marker gene testing was performed in the Johns Hopkins Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory. CA19-9 levels were measured in the Hopkins Clinical Chemistry lab. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of CA19-9 alone versus with the gene test. RESULTS Applying the CA19-9 standard cutoff (<36 U/mL) to all 716 subjects yielded a 68.8% sensitivity in the test set of cases, 67.2% in the validation set, at 91.4% specificity. Applying 99th percentile cutoffs according to each individual's FUT group (3, 34.9, 41.8, and 89.2, for the FUT3-null, FUT-low, FUT-intermediate, and FUT-high groups, respectively) yielded a diagnostic sensitivity for CA19-9 in the first set of cases of 66.7%, 65.7% in the validation set, at 98.9% specificity. ROC analysis for CA19-9 alone yielded an AUC of 0.84; with the tumor marker gene test, AUC improved to 0.92 (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Using a tumor marker gene test to personalize an individual's CA19-9 reference range significantly improves diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
Chronic pain is at epidemic proportions in the United States, represents a significant burden on our public health system, and is coincident with a growing opioid crisis. While numerous genome-wide association studies have been reported for specific pain-related traits, many of these studies were underpowered, and the genetic relationship among these traits remains poorly understood. Here, we conducted a joint analysis of genome-wide association study summary statistics from seventeen pain susceptibility traits in the UK Biobank. This analysis revealed 99 genome-wide significant risk loci, 65 of which overlap loci identified in earlier studies. The remaining 34 loci are novel. We applied leave-one-trait-out meta-analyses to evaluate the influence of each trait on the joint analysis, which suggested that loci fall into four categories: loci associated with nearly all pain-related traits; loci primarily associated with a single trait; loci associated with multiple forms of skeletomuscular pain; and loci associated with headache-related pain. Overall, 664 genes were mapped to the 99 loci by genomic proximity, eQTLs, and chromatin interaction and ~15% of these genes showed differential expression in individuals with acute or chronic pain compared to healthy controls. Risk loci were enriched for genes involved in neurological and inflammatory pathways. Genetic correlation and two-sample Mendelian randomization indicated that psychiatric, metabolic, and immunological traits mediate some of these effects.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of gut-brain interaction, is often comorbid with somatic pain and psychological disorders. Dysregulated signaling of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB), has been implicated in somatic-psychological symptoms in individuals with IBS. Thus, we investigated the association of 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory 3' untranslated region (UTR) of NTRK2 (TrkB) kinase domain-deficient truncated isoform (TrkB.T1) and the BDNF Val66Met SNP with somatic and psychological symptoms and quality of life in a U.S. cohort (IBS n=464; healthy controls n=156). We found that the homozygous recessive genotype (G/G) of rs2013566 in individuals with IBS is associated with worsened somatic symptoms, including headache, back pain, joint pain, muscle pain, and somatization as well as diminished sleep quality, energy level and overall quality of life. Validation using U.K. BioBank (UKBB) data confirmed the association of rs2013566 with increased likelihood of headache. Several SNPs (rs1627784, rs1624327, rs1147198) showed significant associations with muscle pain in our U.S. cohort. Notably, these SNPs are predominantly located in H3K4Me1-enriched regions, suggesting their enhancer and/or transcription regulation potential. Together, our findings suggest that genetic variation within the 3'UTR region of the TrkB.T1 isoform may contribute to comorbid conditions in individuals with IBS, resulting in a spectrum of somatic and psychological symptoms that may influence their quality of life. These findings advance our understanding of the genetic interaction between BDNF/TrkB pathways and somatic-psychological symptoms in IBS, highlighting the importance of further exploring this interaction for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
There is an increased incidence of autism among the children of women who take the anti-epileptic, mood stabilizing drug, valproic acid (VPA) during pregnancy; moreover, exposure to VPA in utero causes autistic-like symptoms in rodents and non-human primates. Analysis of RNAseq data obtained from fetal mouse brains 3 hr after VPA administration revealed that VPA significantly [p(FDR) ≤ 0.025] increased or decreased the expression of approximately 7,300 genes. No significant sex differences in VPA-induced gene expression were observed. Expression of genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism as well as neurogenesis, axon growth and synaptogenesis, GABAergic, glutaminergic and dopaminergic synaptic transmission, perineuronal nets, and circadian rhythms was dysregulated by VPA. Moreover, expression of 400 autism risk genes was significantly altered by VPA as was expression of 247 genes that have been reported to play fundamental roles in the development of the nervous system, but are not linked to autism by GWAS. The goal of this study was to identify mouse genes that are: (a) significantly up- or down-regulated by VPA in the fetal brain and (b) known to be associated with autism and/or to play a role in embryonic neurodevelopmental processes, perturbation of which has the potential to alter brain connectivity in the postnatal and adult brain. The set of genes meeting these criteria provides potential targets for future hypothesis-driven approaches to elucidating the proximal underlying causes of defective brain connectivity in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pain is frequently experienced by patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with higher mortality, higher symptom burden, and worsened health-related quality of life. However, the genomic mechanisms underlying chronic pain in HF are understudied. Building an understanding of the mechanistic underpinnings of pain may inform novel interventions. OBJECTIVE The objective was to identify genes associated with pain from messenger RNA sequence data collected from patients with HF with and without pain. METHODS The current study analyzed data from 40 patients with HF previously enrolled in a clinical trial. Pain presence was measured using the Health Utilities Index Mark-3. Genes were tested for differential expression using DESeq2, and differentially expressed genes were analyzed for protein-protein interaction (PPI) and relevant ontological pathways using Metascape. Genes located within the core of the PPI network were considered key in disease-relevant biological pathways. Differentially expressed genes within this PPI network were reviewed in existing literature to narrow down candidate genes of interest. These target genes of interest were reanalyzed in a second sample of 24 patients with HF using validation quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS A total of 334 genes (279 upregulated, 55 downregulated) were differentially expressed between patients with and without pain in the primary sample of 40. These genes were largely aligned with neutrophil degranulation pathways. Seven genes of interest were identified from a core network of 15 co-expressed genes in the PPI network and existing literature. Three of these seven genes, matrix metallopeptidase 8 ( MMP8 ), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 ( PCSK9 ), and neutrophil defensin 3 ( DEFA3 ), were upregulated in patients with pain versus without pain in both the primary and validation samples. All seven genes of interest are involved in immune, inflammatory, and atherosclerotic processes. DISCUSSION These results identify potential genes that may play a mechanistic role in chronic pain in HF. Further research is needed to evaluate these potential genes among clearly delineated pain phenotypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met, and apolipoprotein (APOE)-ε4 may moderate response to computerized cognitive training (CCT) interventions among patients with heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine moderators of intervention response to CCT over 8 months among patients with HF enrolled in a 3-arm randomized controlled trial. Outcomes were memory, serum BDNF, working memory, instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and health-related quality of life (HRQL). METHODS 256 patients with HF were randomized to CCT, computerized crossword puzzles active control, and usual care control groups for 8 weeks. Data were collected at enrollment, baseline, 10 weeks, and 4 and 8 months. Mixed effects models were computed to evaluate moderators. RESULTS As previously reported, there were no statistically significant group by time effects in outcomes among the 3 groups over 8 months. Tests of moderation indicated that depressive symptoms and presence of BDNF Val66Met and APOE-ε4 were not statistically significant moderators of intervention response in outcomes of delayed recall memory, serum BDNF, working memory, IADLs, and HRQL. In post hoc analysis evaluating baseline global cognitive function, gender, age, and HF severity as moderators, no significant effects were found. HF severity was imbalanced among groups (P = .049) which may have influenced results. CONCLUSIONS Studies are needed to elucidate biological mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in HF and test novel interventions to improve memory, serum BDNF, working memory, IADLs and HRQL. Patients may need to be stratified or randomized by HF severity within intervention trials.

Abstract
Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) are two chronic pain conditions that frequently overlap in the same individual, more commonly in women. Stress is a significant risk factor, exacerbating or triggering one or both conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying IBS–TMD co-morbidity are mostly unknown. Aim To detect both specific and common stress-induced visceral hypersensitivity (SIH) and comorbid TMD–IBS pain hypersensitivity (CPH) genetic signatures over time. Method Twenty-four female rats were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: naïve, SIH, and CPH (orofacial pain plus stress). RNA was extracted from blood, colon, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglion 1 or 7 weeks after the stress paradigm. We combined differential gene expression and co-expression network analyses to define both SIH and CPH expression profiles across tissues and time. Results The transcriptomic profile in blood and colon showed increased expression of genes enriched in inflammatory and neurological biological processes in CPH compared to SIH rats, both at 1 and 7 weeks after stress. In lumbosacral spinal tissue, both SIH and CPH rats compared to naïve revealed decreased expression of genes related to synaptic activity and increased expression of genes enriched in “angiogenesis,” “Neurotrophin,” and “PI3K-Akt” pathways. Compared to SIH, CPH rats showed increased expression of angiogenesis-related genes 1 week after exposure to stress, while 7 weeks post-stress the expression of these genes was higher in SIH rats. In dorsal root ganglia (DRG), CPH rats showed decreased expression of immune response genes at week 1 and inhibition of nerve myelination genes at 7 weeks compared to naïve. For all tissues, we observed higher expression of genes involved in ATP production in SIH compared to CPH at 1 week and this was reversed 7 weeks after the induction of stress. Conclusion Our study highlights an increased inflammatory response in CPH compared to SIH rats in the blood and colon. DRG and spinal transcriptomic profiles of both CPH and SIH rats showed inhibition of synaptic activity along with activation of angiogenesis. Targeting these biological processes may lead to a more profound understanding of the mechanisms underlying IBS–TMD comorbidities and new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Germline variation and smoking are independently associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We conducted genome-wide smoking interaction analysis of PDAC using genotype data from four previous genome-wide association studies in individuals of European ancestry (7,937 cases and 11,774 controls). Examination of expression quantitative trait loci data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project followed by colocalization analysis was conducted to determine whether there was support for common SNP(s) underlying the observed associations. Statistical tests were two sided and P < 5 × 10-8 was considered statistically significant. Genome-wide significant evidence of qualitative interaction was identified on chr2q21.3 in intron 5 of the transmembrane protein 163 (TMEM163) and upstream of the cyclin T2 (CCNT2). The most significant SNP using the Empirical Bayes method, in this region that included 45 significantly associated SNPs, was rs1818613 [per allele OR in never smokers 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.82-0.93; former smokers 1.00, 95% CI, 0.91-1.07; current smokers 1.25, 95% CI 1.12-1.40, P interaction = 3.08 × 10-9). Examination of the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project data demonstrated an expression quantitative trait locus in this region for TMEM163 and CCNT2 in several tissue types. Colocalization analysis supported a shared SNP, rs842357, in high linkage disequilibrium with rs1818613 (r 2 = 0. 94) driving both the observed interaction and the expression quantitative trait loci signals. Future studies are needed to confirm and understand the differential biologic mechanisms by smoking status that contribute to our PDAC findings. SIGNIFICANCE: This large genome-wide interaction study identifies a susceptibility locus on 2q21.3 that significantly modified PDAC risk by smoking status, providing insight into smoking-associated PDAC, with implications for prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although 20 pancreatic cancer susceptibility loci have been identified through genome-wide association studies in individuals of European ancestry, much of its heritability remains unexplained and the genes responsible largely unknown. METHODS To discover novel pancreatic cancer risk loci and possible causal genes, we performed a pancreatic cancer transcriptome-wide association study in Europeans using three approaches: FUSION, MetaXcan, and Summary-MulTiXcan. We integrated genome-wide association studies summary statistics from 9040 pancreatic cancer cases and 12 496 controls, with gene expression prediction models built using transcriptome data from histologically normal pancreatic tissue samples (NCI Laboratory of Translational Genomics [n = 95] and Genotype-Tissue Expression v7 [n = 174] datasets) and data from 48 different tissues (Genotype-Tissue Expression v7, n = 74-421 samples). RESULTS We identified 25 genes whose genetically predicted expression was statistically significantly associated with pancreatic cancer risk (false discovery rate < .05), including 14 candidate genes at 11 novel loci (1p36.12: CELA3B; 9q31.1: SMC2, SMC2-AS1; 10q23.31: RP11-80H5.9; 12q13.13: SMUG1; 14q32.33: BTBD6; 15q23: HEXA; 15q26.1: RCCD1; 17q12: PNMT, CDK12, PGAP3; 17q22: SUPT4H1; 18q11.22: RP11-888D10.3; and 19p13.11: PGPEP1) and 11 at six known risk loci (5p15.33: TERT, CLPTM1L, ZDHHC11B; 7p14.1: INHBA; 9q34.2: ABO; 13q12.2: PDX1; 13q22.1: KLF5; and 16q23.1: WDR59, CFDP1, BCAR1, TMEM170A). The association for 12 of these genes (CELA3B, SMC2, and PNMT at novel risk loci and TERT, CLPTM1L, INHBA, ABO, PDX1, KLF5, WDR59, CFDP1, and BCAR1 at known loci) remained statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. CONCLUSIONS By integrating gene expression and genotype data, we identified novel pancreatic cancer risk loci and candidate functional genes that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death worldwide with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) being the most common subtype (>90%). Inherited genetic changes and cigarette smoking are established independent risk factors of PDAC.
Methods: We conducted a genome-wide gene by smoking interaction analysis of PDAC risk among 7,937 PDAC cases and 12,389 controls of European ancestry from the Pancreatic Cancer Cohort (PanScan) and Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control Consortia (PanC4) with complete genotyping and smoking data. Over 6,769,447 SNPs met our inclusion criteria of imputation score >0.5 and MAF >0.05 after imputation to phase 3 1000G and were included in our analysis. We evaluated the gene-environment interactions using the empirical Bayes method which allows data-adaptive relaxation of the gene-environment independence assumption. The logistic regression model was adjusted for age, sex, top principal components for each phase, study and study region (PanScan only). The analysis was conducted separately for the PanScan and PanC4 GWAS studies, using a score test to efficiently incorporate expected SNP dosages. The estimates were then combined using a fixed-effect meta-analysis. We examined expression quantitative trait locus using data from the NIH Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database. We considered a P-value < 5.0 × 10−8 statistically significant.
Results: We found a genome-wide significant qualitative interaction with the SNP rs1818613 by smoking status (P-value <5 × 10−9) where, compared to the G allele, the T allele was associated with a reduced risk PDAC in never smokers (per T allele OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82-0.93), had no association in former smokers (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.91-1.07) and was associated with an increased risk in current smokers (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.12-1.40). This SNP is located on chromosome 2q21.3 in intron 5 of the transmembrane protein 163 (TMEM163) gene and upstream of the cyclin T2 (CCNT2) gene. More than 40 additional SNPs within 100Kbp and in high LD (r2 > 0.8) with rs1818613 provided significant evidence of interaction by smoking status for PDAC risk. rs1818613 was associated with differential expression of TMEM163 in several tissues: for T allele compared with the G allele there was increased expression in the heart, pituitary, whole blood, and esophagus-muscularis and decreased expression in the testis tissues (P-value < 3 × 10−11). It was also associated with decreased CCNT2 expression in the tibial nerve tissue (P-value = 1.9 × 10−9).
Conclusions: Our work supports that the genetic variation in the region, in conjunction with cigarette smoking, influences PDAC risk. Future studies are needed to explore this association in other smoking-related cancers and to understand the biological mechanism of such association.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. The currently identified common susceptibility loci account for a small fraction of estimated heritability. We sought to estimate overall heritability of pancreatic cancer and partition the heritability by variant frequencies and functional annotations. METHODS Analysis using the genome-based restricted maximum likelihood method (GREML) was conducted on Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control Consortium (PanC4) genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from 3,568 pancreatic cancer cases and 3,363 controls of European Ancestry. RESULTS Applying linkage disequilibrium- and minor allele frequency-stratified GREML (GREML-LDMS) method to imputed GWAS data, we estimated the overall heritability of pancreatic cancer to be 21.2% (SE = 4.8%). Across the functional groups (intronic, intergenic, coding, and regulatory variants), intronic variants account for most of the estimated heritability (12.4%). Previously identified GWAS loci explained 4.1% of the total phenotypic variation of pancreatic cancer. Mutations in hereditary pancreatic cancer susceptibility genes are present in 4% to 10% of patients with pancreatic cancer, yet our GREML-LDMS results suggested these regions explain only 0.4% of total phenotypic variance for pancreatic cancer. CONCLUSIONS Although higher than previous studies, our estimated 21.2% overall heritability may still be downwardly biased due to the inherent limitation that the contribution of rare variants in genes with a substantive overall impact on disease are not captured when applying these commonly used methods to imputed GWAS data. IMPACT Our work demonstrated the importance of rare and common variants in pancreatic cancer risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify associations of individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with cancer risk but usually only explain a fraction of the inherited variability. Pathway analysis of genetic variants is a powerful tool to identify networks of susceptibility genes. METHODS We conducted a large agnostic pathway-based meta-analysis of GWAS data using the summary-based adaptive rank truncated product method to identify gene sets and pathways associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in 9040 cases and 12 496 controls. We performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and functional annotation of the top SNPs in genes contributing to the top associated pathways and gene sets. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS We identified 14 pathways and gene sets associated with PDAC at a false discovery rate of less than 0.05. After Bonferroni correction (P ≤ 1.3 × 10-5), the strongest associations were detected in five pathways and gene sets, including maturity-onset diabetes of the young, regulation of beta-cell development, role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor transactivation by G protein-coupled receptors in cardiac hypertrophy pathways, and the Nikolsky breast cancer chr17q11-q21 amplicon and Pujana ATM Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) network gene sets. We identified and validated rs876493 and three correlating SNPs (PGAP3) and rs3124737 (CASP7) from the Pujana ATM PCC gene set as eQTLs in two normal derived pancreas tissue datasets. CONCLUSION Our agnostic pathway and gene set analysis integrated with functional annotation and eQTL analysis provides insight into genes and pathways that may be biologically relevant for risk of PDAC, including those not previously identified.

Abstract
We developed a novel phasing approach, based solely on molecules and genotype frequency, that does not rely on inference of new alleles. We initiated the project because of errors that were detected in the phased 1000 Genomes Project data. The algorithm first combined identical genotypes into clusters and ranked them by descending frequency. Using alleles defined in homozygotes, it combined them to produce expected genotypes that were dismissed and subtracted them from remaining genotypes to define additional new putative alleles. Putative alleles had to be confirmed by identifying them in independent genotypes, and the process was iterated until all alleles were identified. The new approach was validated using single-molecule sequencing of eight loci, 145 (8 to 35 per locus) alleles were identified, and an average 98.2% (range, 95.0% to 99.9%) of 1000 genome individuals at these loci were explained. The accuracy of the new method was compared with that from PHASE and SHAPEIT2 to the experimentally determined genotypes based on single-molecule sequencing. Our method was comparable to PHASE and SHAPEIT2 in accuracy but was, on average, 14.6- and 10.8-fold faster, respectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify associations of individual SNPs with cancer risk but usually only explain a fraction of the inherited variability. Pathway analysis of genetic variants has been shown for many disorders to be a powerful tool in discovering novel networks of susceptibility genes. Design We have conducted a large agnostic pathway-based meta-analysis of GWAS data using the summary-based adaptive rank truncated product (sARTP) method to identify novel gene sets and pathways associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) in 9,040 cases and 12,495 controls. We performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and functional annotation of the top SNPs in genes identified in PDA-associated gene sets and pathways. Results We identified 14 gene sets and pathways associated with PDA at FDR < 0.05. Five of the strongest signals (P-value ≤ 1.3x10-5 Bonferroni corrected) were in genes from KEGG maturity onset diabetes of the young, Reactome regulation of beta cell development, Biocarta role of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor transactivation by G-protein-coupled receptors in cardiac hypertrophy pathway, Nikolsky breast cancer chr17q11-q21 amplicon gene set, and Pujana ATM Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) network gene set. We identified and validated rs876493 and three correlated SNPs (PGAP3) and rs3124737 (CASP7) as eQTLs in two normal derived pancreas tissue datasets. Conclusion Our agnostic gene set and pathway analysis integrated with functional annotation and eQTL analysis provides novel insight into genes and pathways that may be biologically relevant for risk of PDA.

Abstract
Fields of forensics, transplantation, and paternity rely on human identity testing. Currently, this is accomplished through amplification of microsatellites followed by capillary electrophoresis. An alternative and theoretically better approach uses multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms located within a small region of DNA, a method we initially developed using HLA-A and called haplotype counting. Herein, we validated seven additional polymorphic loci, sequenced a total of 45 individuals from three of the 1000 Genomes populations (15 from each), and determined the number of haplotypes, heterozygosity, and polymorphic information content for each locus. In addition, we developed a multiplex PCR that amplifies five of these loci simultaneously. Using this strategy with a small cohort of leukemic patients who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, we first attempted to define a threshold (0.26% recipient) by examining seven patients who tested all donor and did not relapse. Although this initial threshold will need to be confirmed in a larger cohort, we detected increased recipient DNA above this threshold 90 to 145 days earlier than microsatellite positivity, and 127 to 142 days before clinical relapse in four of eight patients (50%). Haplotype counting using these novel loci may be useful for ultrasensitive detection in fields such as bone marrow transplantation, solid organ transplant rejection, patient identification, and forensics.

Abstract
In 2020, 146,063 deaths due to pancreatic cancer are estimated to occur in Europe and the United States combined. To identify common susceptibility alleles, we performed the largest pancreatic cancer GWAS to date, including 9040 patients and 12,496 controls of European ancestry from the Pancreatic Cancer Cohort Consortium (PanScan) and the Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control Consortium (PanC4). Here, we find significant evidence of a novel association at rs78417682 (7p12/TNS3, P = 4.35 × 10-8). Replication of 10 promising signals in up to 2737 patients and 4752 controls from the PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) consortium yields new genome-wide significant loci: rs13303010 at 1p36.33 (NOC2L, P = 8.36 × 10-14), rs2941471 at 8q21.11 (HNF4G, P = 6.60 × 10-10), rs4795218 at 17q12 (HNF1B, P = 1.32 × 10-8), and rs1517037 at 18q21.32 (GRP, P = 3.28 × 10-8). rs78417682 is not statistically significantly associated with pancreatic cancer in PANDoRA. Expression quantitative trait locus analysis in three independent pancreatic data sets provides molecular support of NOC2L as a pancreatic cancer susceptibility gene.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common pancreatic cancer susceptibility variants at 13 chromosomal loci in individuals of European descent. To identify new susceptibility variants, we performed imputation based on 1000 Genomes (1000G) Project data and association analysis using 5,107 case and 8,845 control subjects from 27 cohort and case-control studies that participated in the PanScan I-III GWAS. This analysis, in combination with a two-staged replication in an additional 6,076 case and 7,555 control subjects from the PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) and Pancreatic Cancer Case-Control (PanC4) Consortia uncovered 3 new pancreatic cancer risk signals marked by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2816938 at chromosome 1q32.1 (per allele odds ratio (OR) = 1.20, P = 4.88x10 -15), rs10094872 at 8q24.21 (OR = 1.15, P = 3.22x10 -9) and rs35226131 at 5p15.33 (OR = 0.71, P = 1.70x10 -8). These SNPs represent independent risk variants at previously identified pancreatic cancer risk loci on chr1q32.1 ( NR5A2), chr8q24.21 ( MYC) and chr5p15.33 ( CLPTM1L- TERT) as per analyses conditioned on previously reported susceptibility variants. We assessed expression of candidate genes at the three risk loci in histologically normal ( n = 10) and tumor ( n = 8) derived pancreatic tissue samples and observed a marked reduction of NR5A2 expression (chr1q32.1) in the tumors (fold change -7.6, P = 5.7x10 -8). This finding was validated in a second set of paired ( n = 20) histologically normal and tumor derived pancreatic tissue samples (average fold change for three NR5A2 isoforms -31.3 to -95.7, P = 7.5x10 -4-2.0x10 -3). Our study has identified new susceptibility variants independently conferring pancreatic cancer risk that merit functional follow-up to identify target genes and explain the underlying biology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surveillance programmes are recommended for individuals at risk (IAR) of familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) to detect early pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, PDAC). However, the age to begin screening and the optimal screening protocol remain to be determined. METHODS IAR from non-CDKN2A FPC families underwent annual screening by MRI with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in board-approved prospective screening programmes at three tertiary referral centres. The diagnostic yield according to age and different screening protocols was analysed. RESULTS 253 IAR with a median age of 48 (25-81) years underwent screening with a median of 3 (1-11) screening visits during a median follow-up of 28 (1-152) months. 134 (53%) IAR revealed pancreatic lesions on imaging, mostly cystic (94%), on baseline or follow-up screening. Lesions were significantly more often identified in IAR above the age of 45 years (p<0.0001). In 21 IAR who underwent surgery, no significant lesions (PDAC, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) 3 lesions, high-grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN)) were detected before the age of 50 years. Potentially relevant lesions (multifocal PanIN2 lesions, low/moderate-grade branch-duct IPMNs) occurred also significantly more often after the age of 50 years (13 vs 2, p<0.0004). The diagnostic yield of potentially relevant lesions was not different between screening protocols using annual MRI with EUS (n=98) or annual MRI with EUS every 3rd year (n=198) and between IAR screened at intervals of 12 months (n=180) or IAR that decided to be screened at ≥24 months intervals (n=30). CONCLUSIONS It appears safe to start screening for PDAC in IAR of non-CDKN2a FPC families at the age of 50 years. MRI-based screening supplemented by EUS at baseline and every 3rd year or when changes in MRI occur appears to be efficient.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis. Hereditary factors play a role in the development of PDAC in 3% to 5% of all patients. Surveillance of high-risk groups, may facilitate detection of PDAC at an early stage. The aim of this study was to assess whether surveillance aids detection of early-stage PDAC or precursor lesions (PRLs) and improves the prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Screening outcomes were collected from three European centers that conduct prospective screening in high-risk groups including families with clustering of PDAC (familial pancreatic cancer [FPC]) or families with a gene defect that predisposes to PDAC. The surveillance program consisted of annual magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and/or endoscopic ultrasound. RESULTS Four hundred eleven asymptomatic individuals participated in the surveillance programs, including 178 CDKN2A mutation carriers, 214 individuals with FPC, and 19 BRCA1/2 or PALB2 mutation carriers. PDAC was detected in 13 (7.3%) of 178 CDKN2A mutation carriers. The resection rate was 75%, and the 5-year survival rate was 24%. Two CDKN2A mutation carriers (1%) underwent surgical resection for low-risk PRL. Two individuals (0.9%) in the FPC cohort had a pancreatic tumor, including one advanced PDAC and one early grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor. Thirteen individuals with FPC (6.1%) underwent surgical resection for a suspected PRL, but only four (1.9%) had high-risk lesions (ie, high-grade intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms or grade 3 pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasms). One BRCA2 mutation carrier was found to have PDAC, and another BRCA2 mutation carrier and a PALB2 mutation carrier underwent surgery and were found to have low-risk PRL. No serious complications occurred as consequence of the program. CONCLUSION Surveillance of CDNK2A mutation carriers is relatively successful, detecting most PDACs at a resectable stage. The benefit of surveillance in families with FPC is less evident.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the developed world. Both inherited high-penetrance mutations in BRCA2 (ref. 2), ATM, PALB2 (ref. 4), BRCA1 (ref. 5), STK11 (ref. 6), CDKN2A and mismatch-repair genes and low-penetrance loci are associated with increased risk. To identify new risk loci, we performed a genome-wide association study on 9,925 pancreatic cancer cases and 11,569 controls, including 4,164 newly genotyped cases and 3,792 controls in 9 studies from North America, Central Europe and Australia. We identified three newly associated regions: 17q25.1 (LINC00673, rs11655237, odds ratio (OR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.19-1.34, P = 1.42 × 10(-14)), 7p13 (SUGCT, rs17688601, OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.84-0.92, P = 1.41 × 10(-8)) and 3q29 (TP63, rs9854771, OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.85-0.93, P = 2.35 × 10(-8)). We detected significant association at 2p13.3 (ETAA1, rs1486134, OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.09-1.19, P = 3.36 × 10(-9)), a region with previous suggestive evidence in Han Chinese. We replicated previously reported associations at 9q34.2 (ABO), 13q22.1 (KLF5), 5p15.33 (TERT and CLPTM1), 13q12.2 (PDX1), 1q32.1 (NR5A2), 7q32.3 (LINC-PINT), 16q23.1 (BCAR1) and 22q12.1 (ZNRF3). Our study identifies new loci associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the organisation of the registry and the preliminary results in terms of characteristics of high-risk pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) families recruited to date and findings of the screening programme. To compare early onset sporadic cases (⩽50 years), sporadic cases (>50 years) and cases with family history of cancer, for PDAC possible risk factors. METHODS/PATIENTS Families with hereditary cancer syndromes predisposing to PDAC were recruited from two main sources: Spanish hospitals participating in PanGenEU, a pan-European multicentre case-control study, and their genetic counseling unit. Individuals at high-risk of PDAC were enrolled into a screening programme, consisting of Endoscopic ultrasound, computerised tomography, magnetic resonance imaging. Genetic testing of candidate genes was offered according to each patient's risk. RESULTS Among 577 consecutive PDAC cases, recruited via PanGenEU, 36 (6%) had ⩾2 first-degree relative with PDAC: Familial pancreatic cancer (FPC). So far PanGen-Fam has recruited 42 high-risk PDAC families; 25 (60%) had FPC. Five index cases with cancer were positive for BRCA2 and one for BRCA1 germline mutations. In the second year of prospective PDAC screening, one neuroendocrine tumour and a high-grade dysplasia lesion suspicious of carcinoma were diagnosed among 41 high-risk individuals. Furthermore EUS detected chronic-pancreatitis-like parenchymal changes in 15 patients. CONCLUDING STATEMENT The identification and recruitment of PDAC high-risk families into the PanGen-Fam registry provides an opportunity to detect early onset cancer and precursor pancreatic cancer lesions at a potentially curative stage and to increase the knowledge of the natural history of the disease.

Abstract
242 Background: The prognosis of patients diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer (PC) is dismal with a 5-year survival rate of around 5%. Familial Pancreatic Cancer (FPC) is an autosomal dominant rare syndrome defined as families with two or more first-degree relatives with pancreatic cancer that do not fulfill the criteria of any other inherited tumor syndrome. The Spanish familial pancreatic cancer registry, Pan-Gen-FAM was established in 2009 in order to identify and manage families at high risk of developing PC. Methods: Information on the family history of cancer is collected in order to determine the phenotype of individual families and patients are offered genetic testing of known FPC associated genes pertinent to their familial syndrome. An individualized clinical screening program is devised for the early detection of a pancreatic tumor consisting of periodic monitoring by imaging techniques (EUS and MRI) and the evaluation of minimally-invasive tumor biomarkers approaches including Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) and circulating free DNA in blood. Results: To date the registry includes 125 individuals representing some 41 families. Of 17 families tested so far BRCA2 germline mutations were detected in 5 families and a BRCA1 mutation in 1 family. 43 individuals underwent clinical screening. More pancreatic abnormalities were found by EUS (41%) than by MRI (31%). The most frequent abnormal findings were parenchymal changes associated with chronic pancreatitis. Eight cystic lesions were identified. One lesion was identified as a well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor and another was shown to have benign cytology and whilst carcinoma was found in a third patient, this patient underwent a subsequent partial pancreatectomy. The remaining patients with cystic lesions are undergoing close clinical observation. Seventy three patients underwent CTC determinations and all patients tested negative. Conclusions: Periodic screening of high risk individuals by EUS and RMI can detect small tumors and premalignant lesions. We hypothesize that these persons will have a higher probability of long-term survival than sporadic cases.

Abstract
1529 Background: The incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) is low, thus screening is recommended for individuals considered to be at high risk. These include members of families with ≥ 2 relatives with PC (FPC), Peutz Jegher syndrome, hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC), familial atypical multiple mole melanoma and Lynch syndrome. Previous studies have shown that non-invasive precursor lesions, such as intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) are more common and of a higher invasive grade in patients with a family history of PC. Methods: Baseline screening consisted of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). FNA-EUS was performed when mass lesions or cysts ≥1 cm in size were encountered. The possibility of surgical intervention or ongoing clinical observation was discussed by a multidisciplinary team in the case of abnormal findings. Furthermore Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) in peripheral blood as a diagnostic marker was assessed. Thirty-five individuals from FPC and HBOC families were screened between October 2011and December 2012. Results: The most frequent abnormal findings by EUS were parenchymal changes found in chronic pancreatitis (hyperechoic foci, echogenic strands, lobularity, cysts). Overall 13 (41%) patients showed at least 1 of these changes; of note, 7 patients were from the same FPC family. Four patients were diagnosed with cystic lesions by EUS; two lesions were confirmed by MRI but not by CT, one lesion was confirmed by both MRI and CT and was compatible with a mucinous tumor < 1cm in diameter and one lesion was detected only by EUS. One patient with cystic lesion >1 cm in size underwent EUS-FNA and the cytology showed benign celularity. One patient has a solid lesion, and it was a neuroendocrine tumor. The remaining patients with cystic lesions were proposed for ongoing close clinical observation. CTC have not been detected in 54 patients tested. Conclusions: A high prevalence of pancreatic abnormalities was found in patients from FPC families. Preliminary data suggest that EUS is the most sensitive method to detect small tumors and premalignant lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased risk of pancreatic cancer has been reported in breast cancer families carrying BRCA1and BRCA2 mutations; however, pancreatic cancer risk in mutation-negative (BRCAX) families has not been explored to date. The aim of this study was to estimate pancreatic cancer risk in high-risk breast cancer families according to the BRCA mutation status. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis was applied to estimate standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for pancreatic cancer. A total of 5,799 families with ≥1 breast cancer case tested for mutations in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 were eligible. Families were divided into four classes: BRCA1, BRCA2, BRCAX with ≥2 breast cancer diagnosed before age 50 (class 3), and the remaining BRCAX families (class 4). RESULTS BRCA1 mutation carriers were at increased risk of pancreatic cancer [SIR = 4.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.94-5.76] as were BRCA2 mutation carriers (SIR = 5.79; 95% CI, 4.28-7.84). BRCAX family members were also at increased pancreatic cancer risk, which did not appear to vary by number of members with early-onset breast cancer (SIR = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.06-1.63 for class 3 and SIR = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.13-1.49 for class 4). CONCLUSIONS Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Members of BRCAX families are also at increased risk of pancreatic cancer, pointing to the existence of other genetic factors that increase the risk of both pancreatic cancer and breast cancer. IMPACT This study clarifies the relationship between familial breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Given its high mortality, pancreatic cancer should be included in risk assessment in familial breast cancer counseling.

Abstract
e12033 Background: Inherited predisposition to Pancreatic Cancer (PC) corresponds 10% of all cases and includes members of families affected with hereditary cancer syndromes as Familial Pancreatic Cancer (FPC), Peutz-Jeghers, familial melanoma, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, hereditary pancreatitis. An inherited predisposition in early onset PC (≤ 50 years) has also been suggested. We report preliminary data on PanFAM patients and screening of high risk individuals. Methods: PamFAM is a part of the European PANGEN PC case/control study of hereditary PC, co-ordinated by the Ramón y Cajal (RC) hospital and the Spanish National Cancer Research Center, with 16 participating hospitals. All families with clinical evidence of an inherited PC syndrome were recruited and multi-generational pedigrees were constructed. Cancer diagnoses were confirmed, when possible, by review of medical records. Blood samples and epidemiological data were collected for all participating family members. A screening program for early detection of PC, based on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), CT and circulating tumour cells (CTCs) was offered to high risk individuals. Results: Of 505 Spanish PCs collected by PANGEN, 31 (~6%) were FPC cases; 18 (58%) revealed only PC and the remaining showed clustering with other tumor types, gastric cancer was the most common (13%). Among FPC families, 3 had 3 cases of PC and the remaining had 2 cases. The mean age of diagnosis was 67 years (range 47-85), 20 male and 11 female. Four FPCs were previously diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin lymphoma, breast and prostate cancer) and 3 with acute pancreatitis. 37 PCs with no family history of cancer were diagnosed at the age of 50 years or earlier (mean 45, range 30-50), 18 male and 19 female. Other 27 eligible families were recruited by RyC hospital, 8 (30%) with FPC and 3 (11%) with PC ≤ 50 years. A cohort of 61 high risk individuals participes in the screening study: 3 had abnormal EUS, 1 a benign pancreatic node and 1 a renal angiolipoma; one young man had 2 CTCs. Conclusions: PanFAM is the first registry in Spain collecting hereditary PC cases and it represents an important resource to identify underlying gene defects and to the development of screening methods precursor lesions detection in high risk individuals.

Abstract
192 Background: 5-10% of pancreatic cancer (PC) cases show familial aggregation. 20% of these correspond to syndromes: Peutz Jeghers, hereditary pancreatitis, familial multiple melanoma, breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) and others. Familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) is defined as: ≥2 first degree relatives with PC and with no other known syndromes. FPC seems to have autosomal dominant inheritance, but the genetic cause is unknown. Methods: The objectives are: 1) To develop the first FPC Spanish Registry, connecting different groups interested in this disease 2) To study inheritance, phenotypic and molecular characteristics of the FPC, and families with early PC 3) To establish a strategy for early detection of PC in high-risk individuals and to implement it 4) To characterize preneoplastic lesions and diagnosed PC by monitoring high-risk individuals. 16 Spanish hospitals are participating. This study has two components: 1) Cohort to identify families with FPC and hereditary PC. Sources for the families are the PanGen-ES Study, a case-control study of PC which identifies families through a questionnaire on family history of cancer, and Genetic Counseling Units, 2) Cohort of high-risk families. The latter will be followed up by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and CT ± abdominal magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood will be determined. Results: The assessment of family history of the 421 cases included in the PanGen Study has identified 32 (7.6%) families with FPC and 52 patients with PC ≤ 50 years (12.4%). In addition, the 190 families presenting PC aggregation with other neoplasms are being further evaluated. At this time we have obtained clinical data and blood samples to carry out molecular studies of 23 individuals: 17 belonging to 3 families with FPC, and 6 members of 2 families with an HBOC with some cases of pancreatic cancer. 18 relatives at risk began a follow-up with EUS and CT, with no detection of any suspicious pancreatic lesion; also CTC have not been detected. Conclusions: This initiative will permit to know more about FPC and will serve to evaluate protocols and PC markers in screening the high-risk population, and promote connections with other international groups.

Abstract
Background A multiplicity of study designs such as gene candidate analysis, genome wide search (GWS) and, recently, whole genome association studies have been employed for the identification of the genetic components of essential hypertension (EH). Several genome-wide linkage studies of EH and blood pressure-related phenotypes demonstrate that there is no single locus with a major effect while several genomic regions likely to contain EH-susceptibility loci were validated by multiple studies. Methods We carried out the clinical assessment of the entire adult population in a Sardinian village (Talana) and we analyzed 16 selected families with 62 hypertensive subjects out of 267 individuals. We carried out a double GWS using a set of 902 uniformly spaced microsatellites and a high-density SNPs map on the same group of families. Results Three loci were identified by both microsatellites and SNP scans and the obtained linkage results showed a remarkable degree of similarity. These loci were identified on chromosome 2q24, 11q23.1–25 and 13q14.11–21.33. Further support to these findings is their broad description present in literature associated to EH or related phenotypes. Bioinformatic investigation of these loci shows several potential EH candidate genes, several of whom already associated to blood pressure regulation pathways. Conclusion Our search for major susceptibility EH genetic factors evidences that EH in the genetic isolate of Talana is due to the contribution of several genes contained in loci identified and replicated by earlier findings in different human populations.

Abstract
To better design association studies for complex traits in isolated populations it's important to understand how history and isolation moulded the genetic features of different communities. Population isolates should not “a priori” be considered homogeneous, even if the communities are not distant and part of a small region. We studied a particular area of Sardinia called Ogliastra, characterized by the presence of several distinct villages that display different history, immigration events and population size. Cultural and geographic isolation characterized the history of these communities. We determined LD parameters in 8 villages and defined population structure through high density SNPs (about 360 K) on 360 unrelated people (45 selected samples from each village). These isolates showed differences in LD values and LD map length. Five of these villages show high LD values probably due to their reduced population size and extreme isolation. High genetic differentiation among villages was detected. Moreover population structure analysis revealed a high correlation between genetic and geographic distances. Our study indicates that history, geography and biodemography have influenced the genetic features of Ogliastra communities producing differences in LD and population structure. All these data demonstrate that we can consider each village an isolate with specific characteristics. We suggest that, in order to optimize the study design of complex traits, a thorough characterization of genetic features is useful to identify the presence of sub-populations and stratification within genetic isolates.

Abstract
A powerful approach to mapping the genes for complex traits is to study isolated founder populations, in which genetic heterogeneity and environmental noise are likely to be reduced and in which extended genealogical data are often available. Using graph theory, we applied an approach that involved sampling from the large number of pairwise relationships present in an extended genealogy to reconstruct sets of subpedigrees that maximize the useful information for linkage mapping while minimizing calculation burden. We investigated, through simulation, the properties of the different sets in terms of bias in identity-by-descent (IBD) estimation and power decrease under various genetic models. We applied this approach to a small isolated population from Sardinia, the village of Talana, consisting of a unique large and complex pedigree, and performed a genomewide search through variance-components linkage analysis for serum lipid levels. We identified a region of significant linkage on chromosome 2 for total serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Through higher-density mapping, we obtained an increased linkage for both traits on 2q21.2-q24.1, with a LOD score of 4.3 for total serum cholesterol and of 3.9 for LDL cholesterol. A replication study was performed in an independent and larger set from a genetically differentiated isolated population of the same region of Sardinia, the village of Perdasdefogu. We obtained consistent linkage to the region for total serum cholesterol (LOD score 1.4) and LDL cholesterol (LOD score 2.2), with a level of concordance uncommon for complex traits, and refined the location of the quantitative-trait locus. Interestingly, the 2q21.1-22 region has also been linked to premature coronary heart disease in Finns, and, in the adjacent 2q14 region, significant linkage with triglycerides has been reported in Hutterites.
