  • Rare Pathogenic Variants Predispose to Hepatocellular Carcinoma In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Rare Pathogenic Variants Predispose to Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Nonalcoholic Fatty Received: 5 September 2018 Accepted: 23 January 2019 Liver Disease Published: xx xx xxxx Serena Pelusi1,2,16, Guido Baselli 1, Alessandro Pietrelli2, Paola Dongiovanni2, Benedetta Donati1, Misti Vanette McCain3, Marica Meroni1, Anna Ludovica Fracanzani1,2, Renato Romagnoli 4, Salvatore Petta5, Antonio Grieco6, Luca Miele 6, Giorgio Soardo7, Elisabetta Bugianesi8, Silvia Fargion1,2, Alessio Aghemo9, Roberta D’Ambrosio10, Chao Xing 11, Stefano Romeo12,13, Rafaele De Francesco14, Helen Louise Reeves3,15 & Luca Vittorio Carlo Valenti1,2,16 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rising cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We examined whether inherited pathogenic variants in candidate genes (n = 181) were enriched in patients with NAFLD-HCC. To this end, we resequenced peripheral blood DNA of 142 NAFLD-HCC, 59 NAFLD with advanced fbrosis, and 50 controls, and considered 404 healthy individuals from 1000 G. Pathogenic variants were defned according to ClinVar, likely pathogenic as rare variants predicted to alter protein activity. In NAFLD-HCC patients, we detected an enrichment in pathogenic (p = 0.024), and likely pathogenic variants (p = 1.9*10−6), particularly in APOB (p = 0.047). APOB variants were associated with lower circulating triglycerides and higher HDL cholesterol (p < 0.01). A genetic risk score predicted NAFLD-HCC (OR 4.96, 3.29–7.55; p = 5.1*10−16), outperforming the diagnostic accuracy of common genetic risk variants, and of clinical risk factors (p < 0.05). In conclusion, rare pathogenic variants in genes involved in liver disease and cancer predisposition are associated with NAFLD-HCC development.
