Investigation of Established Genetic Risk Variants for Glioma in Prediagnostic Samples from a Population-Based Nested Case–Control Study

Abstract: Background: Although glioma etiology is poorly understood in general, growing evidence indicates a genetic component. Four large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked common genetic variants with an increased glioma risk. However, to date, these studies are based largely on a casecontrol design, where cases have been recruited at the time of or after diagnosis. They may therefore suffer from a degree of survival bias, introduced when rapidly fatal cases are not included.Methods: To confirm glioma … Show more

“…In recent years, several genes have been identified as potential glioma susceptibility genes, including RAD51, TP53, telomerase reverse transcriptase and regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Another important gene is coiled-coil domain-containing 26 (CCDC26), which increases the apoptosis of glioblastoma cells by modulating differentiation and apoptosis following induction by retinoic acid treatment (9).…”

“…The main cause of poor prognosis is that glioma is characterized by rapid growth, high invasiveness and suppression of cell apoptosis (8,9). Besides, poorly understanding the etiology and progression of glioma hampers the development of treatments and surveillance strategies (10). Therefore, fully understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying occurrence, development and evolution of glioma is urgently needed to investigate novel and effective therapeutic treatments.…”

“…Environmental risk factor for glioma is exposure to moderate to high doses of ionizing radiation and etiology of glioma genetic component contains an elevated glioma risk among individuals with a family history of glioma. The advanced understanding of aetiology of glioma has potential to facilitate treatment development, and thereby to improve the outcome of the disease [2]. The pathogenesis glioma remains largely unknown [3].…”
