BackgroundKIAA genes identified in the Kazusa cDNA-sequencing project may play important roles in biological processes and are involved in carcinogenesis of many cancers. Genetic variants of KIAA genes are implicated in the abnormal expression of these genes and are linked to susceptibility of several human complex diseases.MethodsThe differentially expressed KIAA genes were screened and identified in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database of breast cancer. A total of 48 variants located in the 28 KIAA genes were selected to investigate the associations between polymorphism and breast cancer in 1,032 cases and 1,063 cancer-free controls in a Chinese population.ResultsTwo coding variants, which included a SNP rs2306369 in KIAA1109 and a SNP rs1205434 in KIAA1755, were identified to be associated with the incidences of breast cancer. Logistic regression analysis showed that the SNP rs2306369 G allele was associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer (additive model: OR =0.81, 95% CI: 0.66-0.99, P=0.038), whereas the SNP rs1205434 A allele was involved with a higher risk of breast cancer (additive model: OR =1.19, 95% CI: 1.02-1.38, P= 0.025). Further stratified analysis revealed that the SNP rs1205434 showed a significant difference for age at menarche strata (heterogeneity test P=0.009). Multiplicative interaction analysis indicated that there was positive multiplicative interaction between the SNP rs1205434 and menarche age (OR =1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17, P=0.036). Additionally, expression quantitative trait loci analysis revealed that the SNP rs1205434 A allele could decrease the KIAA1755 expression in the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database (P=0.002). The Kaplan-Meier plotter showed that breast cancer patients with high KIAA1755 expression have significantly better outcomes than those with low levels of expression (HR =0.84, 95% CI: 0.72-0.99, P=0.033).ConclusionsThe results indicate that the genetic variants (rs2306369 and rs1205434) in the coding region of KIAA1109 and KIAA1755 respectively may affect Chinese females' breast cancer susceptibility and act as potential predictive biomarkers for breast cancer.
