ABSTRACT
We investigated whether genetic susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) influences lung adenocarcinoma development among never-smokers using TB genome-wide association study (GWAS) results within the Female Lung Cancer Consortium in Asia. Pathway analysis with the adaptive rank truncated product method was used to assess the association between a TB-related gene-set and lung adenocarcinoma using GWAS data from 5512 lung adenocarcinoma cases and 6277 controls. The gene-set consisted of 31 genes containing known/suggestive associations with genetic variants from previous TB-GWAS. Subsequently, we followed-up with Mendelian Randomization to evaluate the association between TB and lung adenocarcinoma using three genome-wide significant variants from previous TB-GWAS in East Asians. The TB-related gene-set was associated with lung adenocarcinoma (pâ¯=â¯0.016). Additionally, the Mendelian Randomization showed an association between TB and lung adenocarcinoma (ORâ¯=â¯1.31, 95% CI 1.03, 1.66, pâ¯=â¯0.027). Our findings support TB as a causal risk factor for lung cancer development among never-smoking Asian women.
