Abstract

Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common primary malignant bone tumor, has a peak incidence during the pubertal growth spurt. OS occurs at increased frequency in several inherited cancer syndromes (e.g., Li-Fraumeni and Rothmund Thomson syndromes). A limited number of common SNPs associated with OS have been identified in biologically plausible pathways (e.g., growth or DNA repair). We developed an international, multi-institutional study in order to conduct the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of OS. Participating subjects provided informed consent through local IRBs. Control subjects were cancer free adults derived from large studies in prior GWAS at the NCI. Genotyping of all cases was conducted using the Illumina OmniExpress SNP microarray chip platform in 2 phases. The first phase analyzed 910 osteosarcoma cases. After quality control filtering and assessment of population substructure, 596 cases of European (EUR) ancestry were advanced to the primary GWAS analysis (Phase 1A). We combined data from 2,703 previously genotyped controls drawn from 3 EUR cohorts. There was no evidence for significant population substructure differences between OS cases and controls. The association analysis (1-degree of freedom trend test) was adjusted for study, sex and 4 eigenvectors. The top 30 SNPs (P
