Abstract
BACKGROUND The shared inherited genetic contribution to risk of different cancers is not fully known. In this study, we leverage results from 12 cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to quantify pairwise genome-wide genetic correlations across cancers and identify novel cancer susceptibility loci. METHODS We collected GWAS summary statistics for 12 solid cancers based on 376 759 participants with cancer and 532 864 participants without cancer of European ancestry. The included cancer types were breast, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, glioma, head and neck, lung, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and renal cancers. We conducted cross-cancer GWAS and transcriptome-wide association studies to discover novel cancer susceptibility loci. Finally, we assessed the extent of variant-specific pleiotropy among cancers at known and newly identified cancer susceptibility loci. RESULTS We observed widespread but modest genome-wide genetic correlations across cancers. In cross-cancer GWAS and transcriptome-wide association studies, we identified 15 novel cancer susceptibility loci. Additionally, we identified multiple variants at 77 distinct loci with strong evidence of being associated with at least 2 cancer types by testing for pleiotropy at known cancer susceptibility loci. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these results suggest that some genetic risk variants are shared among cancers, though much of cancer heritability is cancer-specific and thus tissue-specific. The increase in statistical power associated with larger sample sizes in cross-disease analysis allows for the identification of novel susceptibility regions. Future studies incorporating data on multiple cancer types are likely to identify additional regions associated with the risk of multiple cancer types.

Abstract
Familial forms of monoclonal gammopathy, defined as multiple myeloma (MM) or Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), are relatively infrequent and most series reported in the literature describe a limited number of families. MM rarely occurs in a familial context. MGUS is observed much more commonly, which can in some cases evolve toward full-blown MM. Although recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities have been described in tumor cells of sporadic cases of MM, the pathogenesis of familial MM remains largely unexplained. In order to identify genetic factors predisposing to familial monoclonal gammopathy, the Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome identified 318 families with at least two confirmed cases of monoclonal gammopathy. There were 169 families with parent/child pairs and 164 families with cases in at least two siblings, compatible with an autosomal transmission. These familial cases were compared with sporadic cases who were matched for age at diagnosis, sex and immunoglobulin isotype, with 10 sporadic cases for each familial case. The gender distribution, age and immunoglobulin subtypes of familial cases were unremarkable in comparison to sporadic cases. With a median follow-up of 7.4 years after diagnosis, the percentage of MGUS cases having evolved to MM was 3%. The median overall survival of the 148 familial MM cases was longer than that of matched sporadic cases, with projected values of 7.6 and 16.1 years in patients older and younger than 65 years, respectively. These data suggest that familial cases of monoclonal gammopathy are similar to sporadic cases in terms of clinical presentation and carry a better prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGOUND Bladder cancer (BCa) is a heterogeneous disease caused by the interaction between environmental and genetic risk factors. The goal of this case-control study was to evaluate the implication of a selected SNP panel in the risk of BCa development in a Tunisian cohort. We were also interested in studying the interaction between this predictive panel and environmental risk factors. METHODS The case/control cohort was composed with 249 BCa cases and 255 controls. The designed Bladder cancer hereditary panel (BCHP) was composed of 139 selected variants. These variants were genotyped by an amplification-based targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) on the Ion Torrent Proton sequencer (Life Technologies, Ion Torrent technology). RESULTS We have found that rs162555, rs2228000, rs10936599, rs710521, rs3752645, rs804276, rs4639, rs4881400 and rs288980 were significantly associated with decreased risk of bladder cancer. However the homozygous genotypes for VPS37C (rs7104333, A/A), MPG (rs1013358, C/C) genes or the heterozygous genotype for ARNT gene (rs1889740, rs2228099, rs2256355, rs2864873), GSTA4 (rs17614751) and APOBR/IL27 (rs17855750) were significantly associated with increased risk of bladder cancer development compared to reference group (OR 2.53, 2.34, 1.99, 2.00, 2.00, 1.47, 1.96 and 2.27 respectively). We have also found that non-smokers patients harboring heterozygous genotypes for ARNT/rs2864873 (A > G), ARNT/ rs1889740 (C > T) or GSTA4/rs17614751 (G-A) were respectively at 2.775, 3.069 and 6.608-fold increased risk of Bca development compared to non-smokers controls with wild genotypes. Moreover the ARNT CT (rs1889740), ARNT CG (rs2228099), ARNT TC (rs2864873) and GSS GA genotypes were associated with an increased risk of BCa even in absence of professional risk factors. Finally the decision-tree analysis produced a three major BCa classes. These three classes were essentially characterized by an intensity of tobacco use more than 20 pack years (PY) and the CYP1A2 (rs762551) genotype. CONCLUSIONS The determined association between environmental factors, genetic variations and the risk of Bca development may provide additional information to urologists that may help them for clinical assessment and treatment decisions. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms through which these genes or SNPs affect the clinical behavior of BCas require further studies.

Abstract
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is emerging as a potential tumor biomarker. CfDNA-based biomarkers may be applicable in tumors without an available non-invasive screening method among at-risk populations. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and residents of the Asian cancer belt are examples of those malignancies and populations. Previous epidemiological studies using cfDNA have pointed to the need for high volumes of good quality plasma (i.e., >1 mL plasma with 0 or 1 cycles of freeze-thaw) rather than archival serum, which is often the main available source of cfDNA in retrospective studies. Here, we have investigated the concordance of TP53 mutations in tumor tissue and cfDNA extracted from archival serum left-over from 42 cases and 39 matched controls (age, gender, residence) in a high-risk area of Northern Iran (Golestan). Deep sequencing of TP53 coding regions was complemented with a specialized variant caller (Needlestack). Overall, 23% to 31% of mutations were concordantly detected in tumor and serum cfDNA (based on two false discovery rate thresholds). Concordance was positively correlated with high cfDNA concentration, smoking history (p-value = 0.02) and mutations with a high potential of neoantigen formation (OR; 95%CI = 1.9 (1.11-3.29)), suggesting that tumor DNA release in the bloodstream might reflect the effects of immune and inflammatory context on tumor cell turnover. We identified TP53 mutations in five controls, one of whom was subsequently diagnosed with ESCC. Overall, the results showed that cfDNA mutations can be reliably identified by deep sequencing of archival serum, with a rate of success comparable to plasma. Nonetheless, 70% non-identifiable mutations among cancer patients and 12% mutation detection in controls are the main challenges in applying cfDNA to detect tumor-related variants when blindly targeting whole coding regions of the TP53 gene in ESCC.

Abstract
Bilirubin, an endogenous antioxidant, may play a protective role in cancer development. We applied two-sample Mendelian randomization to investigate whether genetically raised bilirubin levels are causally associated with the risk of ten cancers (pancreas, kidney, endometrium, ovary, breast, prostate, lung, Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma, and neuroblastoma). The number of cases and their matched controls of European descent ranged from 122,977 and 105,974 for breast cancer to 1200 and 6417 for Hodgkin's lymphoma, respectively. A total of 115 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated (p < 5 × 10-8) with circulating total bilirubin, extracted from a genome-wide association study in the UK Biobank, were used as instrumental variables. One SNP (rs6431625) in the promoter region of the uridine-diphosphoglucuronate glucuronosyltransferase1A1 (UGT1A1) gene explained 16.9% and the remaining 114 SNPs (non-UGT1A1 SNPs) explained 3.1% of phenotypic variance in circulating bilirubin levels. A one-standarddeviation increment in circulating bilirubin (≈ 4.4 µmol/L), predicted by non-UGT1A1 SNPs, was inversely associated with risk of squamous cell lung cancer and Hodgkin's lymphoma (odds ratio (OR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-0.99, P 0.04 and OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42-0.99, p 0.04, respectively), which was confirmed after removing potential pleiotropic SNPs. In contrast, a positive association was observed with the risk of breast cancer after removing potential pleiotropic SNPs (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, p 0.002). There was little evidence for robust associations with the other seven cancers investigated. Genetically raised bilirubin levels were inversely associated with risk of squamous cell lung cancer as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma and positively associated with risk of breast cancer. Further studies are required to investigate the utility of bilirubin as a low-cost clinical marker to improve risk prediction for certain cancers.

Abstract
To identify genetic variation associated with lung cancer risk, we performed a genome-wide association analysis of 685 lung cancer cases that had a family history of two or more first or second degree relatives compared with 744 controls without lung cancer that were genotyped on an Illumina Human OmniExpressExome-8v1 array. To ensure robust results, we further evaluated these findings using data from six additional studies that were assembled through the Transdisciplinary Research on Cancer of the Lung Consortium comprising 1993 familial cases and 33 690 controls. We performed a meta-analysis after imputation of all variants using the 1000 Genomes Project Phase 1 (version 3 release date September 2013). Analyses were conducted for 9 327 222 SNPs integrating data from the two sources. A novel variant on chromosome 4p15.31 near the LCORL gene and an imputed rare variant intergenic between CDKN2A and IFNA8 on chromosome 9p21.3 were identified at a genome-wide level of significance for squamous cell carcinomas. Additionally, associations of CHRNA3 and CHRNA5 on chromosome 15q25.1 in sporadic lung cancer were confirmed at a genome-wide level of significance in familial lung cancer. Previously identified variants in or near CHRNA2, BRCA2, CYP2A6 for overall lung cancer, TERT, SECISPB2L and RTEL1 for adenocarcinoma and RAD52 and MHC for squamous carcinoma were significantly associated with lung cancer.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causation. OBJECTIVE To conduct a Mendelian randomization study, using germline genetic variants as instrumental variables, to appraise the causal relevance of telomere length for risk of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases. DATA SOURCES Genomewide association studies (GWAS) published up to January 15, 2015. STUDY SELECTION GWAS of noncommunicable diseases that assayed germline genetic variation and did not select cohort or control participants on the basis of preexisting diseases. Of 163 GWAS of noncommunicable diseases identified, summary data from 103 were available. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Summary association statistics for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for disease per standard deviation (SD) higher telomere length due to germline genetic variation. RESULTS Summary data were available for 35 cancers and 48 non-neoplastic diseases, corresponding to 420 081 cases (median cases, 2526 per disease) and 1 093 105 controls (median, 6789 per disease). Increased telomere length due to germline genetic variation was generally associated with increased risk for site-specific cancers. The strongest associations (ORs [95% CIs] per 1-SD change in genetically increased telomere length) were observed for glioma, 5.27 (3.15-8.81); serous low-malignant-potential ovarian cancer, 4.35 (2.39-7.94); lung adenocarcinoma, 3.19 (2.40-4.22); neuroblastoma, 2.98 (1.92-4.62); bladder cancer, 2.19 (1.32-3.66); melanoma, 1.87 (1.55-2.26); testicular cancer, 1.76 (1.02-3.04); kidney cancer, 1.55 (1.08-2.23); and endometrial cancer, 1.31 (1.07-1.61). Associations were stronger for rarer cancers and at tissue sites with lower rates of stem cell division. There was generally little evidence of association between genetically increased telomere length and risk of psychiatric, autoimmune, inflammatory, diabetic, and other non-neoplastic diseases, except for coronary heart disease (OR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.67-0.90]), abdominal aortic aneurysm (OR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.49-0.81]), celiac disease (OR, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.28-0.61]) and interstitial lung disease (OR, 0.09 [95% CI, 0.05-0.15]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide, but is still lacking sensitive and specific biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, we applied targeted massively parallel semiconductor sequencing to assess methylation on a panel of genes (FBLN1, HINT2, LAMC1, LTBP1, LTBP2, PSMA2, PSMA7, PXDN, TGFB1, UBE2L3, VIM and YWHAZ) in plasma circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and to evaluate the potential of these genes as HCC biomarkers in two different series, one from France (42 HCC cases and 42 controls) and one from Thailand (42 HCC cases, 26 chronic liver disease cases and 42 controls). We also analyzed a set of HCC and adjacent tissues and liver cell lines to further compare with 'The Cancer Genome Atlas' (TCGA) data. The methylation in cfDNA was detected for FBLN1, PSMA7, PXDN and VIM, with differences in methylation patterns between cases and controls for FBLN1 and VIM. The average methylation level across analyzed CpG-sites was associated with higher odds of HCC for VIM (1.48 [1.02, 2.16] for French cases and 2.18 [1.28, 3.72] for Thai cases), and lower odds of HCC for FBLN1 (0.89 [0.76, 1.03] for French cases and 0.75 [0.63, 0.88] for Thai cases). In conclusion, our study provides evidence that changes in VIM and FBLN1 methylation levels in cfDNA are associated with HCC and could represent useful plasma-based biomarkers. Also, the potential to investigate methylation patterns in cfDNA could bring new strategies for HCC detection and monitoring high-risk groups and response to treatment.

Abstract
To examine the diversity of somatic alterations and clonal evolution according to aggressiveness of disease, nineteen tumor-blood pairs of 'formerly bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma (BAC)' which had been reclassified into preinvasive lesion (adenocarcinoma in situ; AIS), focal invasive lesion (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma; MIA), and invasive lesion (lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma; LPA and non-lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma; non-LPA) according to IASLC/ATS/ERS 2011 classification were explored by whole exome sequencing. Several distinct somatic alterations were observed compare to the lung adenocarcinoma study from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). There were higher numbers of tumors with significant APOBEC mutation fold enrichment (73% vs. 58% TCGA). The frequency of KRAS mutations was lower in our study (5% vs. 32% TCGA), while a higher number of mutations of RNA-splicing genes, RBM10 and U2AF1, were found (37% vs. 11% TCGA). We found neither mutational pattern nor somatic copy number alterations that were specific to AIS/MIA. We demonstrated that clonal cell fraction was the only distinctive feature that discriminated LPA/non-LPA from AIS/MIA. The broad range of clonal frequency signified a more branched clonal evolution at the time of diagnosis. Assessment of tumor clonal cell fraction might provide critical information for individualized therapy as a prognostic factor, however this needs further study.

Abstract
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide, but is still lacking sensitive and specific biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. HCC carcinogenesis is a multi-step process that usually arises in background chronic metabolic, inflammatory and/or infectious liver disease and it exhibits a wide range of epigenetic alterations that could potentially be used as biomarkers. In this study, we applied the targeted massively parallel semiconductor sequencing to assess in plasma circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) the methylation of a panel of genes (FBLN1, HINT2, LAMC1, LTBP1, LTBP2, PSMA2, PSMA7, PXDN, TGFB1, UBE2L3, VIM and YWHAZ) and to evaluate the potential of these genes as novel HCC biomarkers in two different series, one from France and one from Thailand. Methylation in cfDNA was detected for FBLN1, PSMA7, PXDN and VIM, with substantial differences in methylation patterns between cases and controls for FBLN1 and VIM. Further, the average methylation level across analyzed CpG-sites was associated with higher odds of HCC for VIM (1.48 [1.02, 2.16] for French cases, and 2.18 [1.28, 3.72] for Thai cases), and lower odds of HCC for FBLN1 (0.89 [0.76, 1.03] for French cases and 0.75 [0.63, 0.88] for Thai cases). We also analyzed a set of HCC and adjacent tissues as well as The Cancer Genome Atlas’ (TCGA) data to further investigate the origin of methylation pattern in cfDNA and noted that the analysis of VIM could be improved based on the methylation pattern detected in TCGA data. Overall, our study provides evidence that changes in methylation levels of cfDNA could be used as potential cancer biomarkers and that VIM and FBLN1 methylation in cfDNA are associated with HCC and may represent useful plasma-based biomarkers for improved detection and patient surveillance.

Abstract
Abstract
In 2012, almost 700,000 new head and neck cancer (HNSCC) cases were estimated to occur worldwide with two thirds of those cases occurring in developing countries. Within the geographic areas in Latin America, characterized by high incidence rates of head and neck cancer, the region comprising Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay has the highest levels of incidence. Despite current therapy approaches, the survival rate is around 50%, and the main reason for treatment failure is the frequent development of regional recurrences, affecting around 30% of patients. In this context the use of ctDNA (specific biomarker for tumors) using techniques of mass sequencing (high sensitivity and specificity) is presented as a promising tool for noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring of HNSCC cases.
Our primary goal was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the presence of ctDNA in both plasma and oral rinses from a series of HNSCC cases without previous knowledge of tumor mutational status. 43 cases diagnosed as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were selected from a multi center case-control study conducted in Argentina between 1998 and 2002. Subsite and stage distribution was as follows: 14 oral cavity, 6 oropharynx, 1 hypopharynx, 15 larynx and 7 overlapping lesions. 6 cases were stage III and 17 stage IV. Additionally, 50 controls matched by center, age, sex, smoking and alcohol status were included to assess a threshold of the background noise after sequencing.
Targeted sequencing was performed independently in duplicate on plasma, oral rinses, germline DNA and the tumor material using the Ion Proton™ System. Sequencing included the entire coding region of TP53 as the most frequently mutated gene in HNSCC. Both Plasma and oral rinses samples were sequenced at an average depth of 10000X. For somatic variant calling we used a recently developed new statistical model and a bioinformatics pipeline based on Poisson distribution for estimation of sequencing errors distribution to accurately identify variants above the sequencing background. Statistical tests were carried out in R statistical programming environment.
74% of tumor samples sequenced harboured at least one TP53 somatic mutation. 10 TP53 variants were identified in the corresponding plasma samples and 1 of these variants matched the tumor mutation, possibly reflecting high tumor heterogeneity. In contrast, 90% of the variants detected in the tumor were also found in in the oral rinses with allelic frequencies ranging from 0.002 to 0.05 showing higher specificity of oral rinses as a surrogate sample for mutation detection.
The detection and analysis of ctDNA in noninvasive samples might be included as a potential biomarker to improve early diagnosis and patient monitoring in HNSCC cases.

Abstract
Abstract
In cancer patients, a larger fraction of cell-free DNA is of tumor origin, released in circulating blood as a consequence of cell death and tissue trauma, ctDNA carries information on tumor-related genetic and epi¬genetic changes. Given the utility as a noninvasive marker ctDNA is commonly referred to as “liquid biopsy”. Some studies have correlated the abundance of ctDNA with tumor size and stage, with as much as 10% of ctDNA in advanced-stage cancers but as low as 0.1-1% in premalignant or early stage disease. Only one published study has explored the detection of ctDNA in Head and neck tumors in advanced cancers detecting mutations in 60% of the cases.
Our primary goal was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the presence of ctDNA in circulating blood fractions from a series of HNSCC cases at early and late stages. We also evaluated the extent to which measures of ctDNA in blood samples correlate with similar findings from paired tumor tissue and correlate with outcome. 48 cases (including plasma, tumor and germline samples) diagnosed as head and neck SCC were selected from a multi center case- control study (ARCAGE), conducted between 2002-2005 involving 10 countries across Europe. Stage distribution was as following: 40% stage IV, 23% stage II, 19% stage III, 15% stage I, 3% no Info. Additionally, 65 controls matched by center, age, sex, smoking and alcohol status were included to assess a threshold of the background noise after sequencing.
Targeted sequencing was performed independently on both germline DNA and the tumor material using the Ion Proton™ System at an average depth of 250X. Sequencing included the entire coding region of 14 of the most frequently mutated genes in HNSCC: TP53, NOTCH1, CDKN2A, CASP8, PIK3CA, HRAS, FAT1, MLL2, NSD1, FBXW7, RB1, TP63, IRF6 and PTEN. Plasma samples were sequenced using an amplicon based approach. All 65 controls were also sequenced for all mutations detected. Plasma samples were sequenced at an average depth of 10000X. Mutation calls were based on a poisson distribution to distinguish true variants from background noise. Indels were manually inspected using IGV. Statistical tests were carried out in R statistical programming environment. 80% of tumor samples sequenced harboured a somatic mutation in at least one of the 14 genes, for a total 54 somatic mutations. 50% of these mutations including 2 indels were also detected in the corresponding plasma samples, allelic frequencies ranged from 0.005 to 0.30; cases were mostly stage IV although mutations were also detected in four early stage cases. Overall survival was lower for cases harboring TP53 mutations in both tumor and plasma.
It is feasible to detect frequent mutations in circulating free DNA in both early and late stage HNSCC. Mutations detected in both tumor and plasma correlated with poor survival especially in oropharyngeal cases demonstrating that ctDNA might be included as a potential biomarker for patient monitoring and outcome prediction.

Abstract
We recently identified a novel susceptibility variant, rs865686, for estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer at 9q31.2. Here, we report a fine-mapping analysis of the 9q31.2 susceptibility locus using 43 160 cases and 42 600 controls of European ancestry ascertained from 52 studies and a further 5795 cases and 6624 controls of Asian ancestry from nine studies. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs676256 was most strongly associated with risk in Europeans (odds ratios [OR] = 0.90 [0.88-0.92]; P-value = 1.58 × 10(-25)). This SNP is one of a cluster of highly correlated variants, including rs865686, that spans ∼14.5 kb. We identified two additional independent association signals demarcated by SNPs rs10816625 (OR = 1.12 [1.08-1.17]; P-value = 7.89 × 10(-09)) and rs13294895 (OR = 1.09 [1.06-1.12]; P-value = 2.97 × 10(-11)). SNP rs10816625, but not rs13294895, was also associated with risk of breast cancer in Asian individuals (OR = 1.12 [1.06-1.18]; P-value = 2.77 × 10(-05)). Functional genomic annotation using data derived from breast cancer cell-line models indicates that these SNPs localise to putative enhancer elements that bind known drivers of hormone-dependent breast cancer, including ER-α, FOXA1 and GATA-3. In vitro analyses indicate that rs10816625 and rs13294895 have allele-specific effects on enhancer activity and suggest chromatin interactions with the KLF4 gene locus. These results demonstrate the power of dense genotyping in large studies to identify independent susceptibility variants. Analysis of associations using subjects with different ancestry, combined with bioinformatic and genomic characterisation, can provide strong evidence for the likely causative alleles and their functional basis.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that polymorphisms in CASP8 on chromosome 2 are associated with breast cancer risk. To clarify the role of CASP8 in breast cancer susceptibility, we carried out dense genotyping of this region in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning a 1 Mb region around CASP8 were genotyped in 46 450 breast cancer cases and 42 600 controls of European origin from 41 studies participating in the BCAC as part of a custom genotyping array experiment (iCOGS). Missing genotypes and SNPs were imputed and, after quality exclusions, 501 typed and 1232 imputed SNPs were included in logistic regression models adjusting for study and ancestry principal components. The SNPs retained in the final model were investigated further in data from nine genome-wide association studies (GWAS) comprising in total 10 052 case and 12 575 control subjects. The most significant association signal observed in European subjects was for the imputed intronic SNP rs1830298 in ALS2CR12 (telomeric to CASP8), with per allele odds ratio and 95% confidence interval [OR (95% confidence interval, CI)] for the minor allele of 1.05 (1.03-1.07), P = 1 × 10(-5). Three additional independent signals from intronic SNPs were identified, in CASP8 (rs36043647), ALS2CR11 (rs59278883) and CFLAR (rs7558475). The association with rs1830298 was replicated in the imputed results from the combined GWAS (P = 3 × 10(-6)), yielding a combined OR (95% CI) of 1.06 (1.04-1.08), P = 1 × 10(-9). Analyses of gene expression associations in peripheral blood and normal breast tissue indicate that CASP8 might be the target gene, suggesting a mechanism involving apoptosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Oral and pharyngeal cancer, grouped together, is the sixth most common cancer in the world. The annual estimated incidence is around 275,000 for oral and 130,300 for pharyngeal cancers excluding nasopharynx, two-thirds of these cases occurring in developing countries.
The principal objective of this work was to investigate the somatic genetic changes that influence the risk of head and neck cancer occurrence and outcome, and how they interact with environmental and host factors: HPV infection, alcohol and Smoking.
We selected 205 paired samples diagnosed as head and neck SCC included in two multicenter studies in Europe and Brazil: ARCAGE, a multi center case- control study, conducted between 2002-2005 involving 10 countries across Europe and the Gencapo case- control study in the state of Sao Paulo from 2001 to 2010.
Targeted sequencing was performed independently on both germline DNA and the tumor material using the PGM™ System at an average depth of 250X.Sequencing included the entire coding region of 5 of the most frequently mutated genes in Head and Neck cancer: TP53, NOTCH1, CDKN2A, CASP8, and PTEN. HPV status was achieved by capsid protein serology and DNA genotyping. Statistical tests were carried out in the R statistical programming environment or using STATA statistic software. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine overall survival.
Statistically significant differences in exposure status were found between both series of patients with more prevalent cases of former and current both smokers and alcohol drinkers in Brazil(p=0.001). 76% and 63% of the patients in each series had at least 1 mutation and there were no significant differences in the percentage of mutations found. Most of the mutations were found in TP53 (60%) and NOTCH1 (18%). Smoking status was significantly associated to TP53 mutations (p=0.015). Positive serology for HPV16 E6 oncoprotein was associated to Oropharyngeal tumors all of which lack TP53 mutations.
When comparing the survival of patients according to the mutational profile we found a reduction in overall survival for those patients carrying mutations in TP53 (p=0.002) and CDKN2A (p=0.001).
Combined molecular profiling and exposure data can be a resource to assess the role of lifestyle habits on prognosis, and will help to identify early markers of survival for head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract
Little is known about the audit activity taking place among general practitioners as part of their vocational training. All 155 trainers and their trainees in the West of Scotland were asked about their attitudes to and their experiences of audit. Two hundred and thirty-five replies were received from 310 questionnaires sent, giving an 85% response from trainers and 67% from trainees. Both trainers and trainees had positive attitudes to audit with regard to its use: for assessing work (87% of trainers, 97% trainees); as an appropriate use of resources (92% of trainers, 78% of trainees); as an appropriate use of time (91% trainers, 76% trainees); in improving patient care (96% of trainers, 76% of trainees). Most trainers (90%) and 52% of trainees had started collecting data with a view to starting an audit, 56% of trainers and 23% of trainees had personally set a standard and 54% of trainers but only 12% of trainees had completed a cycle of audit. Despite very positive attitudes to audit there is a problem completing a cycle of audit, particularly among trainees. They will thus be denied the benefit of negotiating and evaluating change as part of their training, skills which will be necessary to ensure a lifelong awareness of the quality of care they are providing.
