Popis: Cancer patients exhibit a broad range of inter-individual variability in response and toxicity to widely used anticancer drugs, and genetic variation is a major contributor to this variability. To identify new genes that influence the response of 44 FDA-approved anticancer drug treatments widely used to treat various types of cancer, we conducted high-throughput screening and genome-wide association mapping using 680 lymphoblastoid cell lines from the 1000 Genomes Project. The drug treatments considered in this study represent nine drug classes widely used in the treatment of cancer in addition to the paclitaxel + epirubicin combination therapy commonly used for breast cancer patients. Our genome-wide association study (GWAS) found several significant and suggestive associations. We prioritized consistent associations for functional follow-up using gene-expression analyses. The NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) gene was found to be associated with the dose-response of arsenic trioxide, erlotinib, trametinib, and a combination treatment of paclitaxel + epirubicin. NQO1 has previously been shown as a biomarker of epirubicin response, but our results reveal novel associations with these additional treatments. Baseline gene expression of NQO1 was positively correlated with response for 43 of the 44 treatments surveyed. By interrogating the functional mechanisms of this association, the results demonstrate differences in both baseline and drug-exposed induction.
