  2. “Westernization” of lifestyle and cancer. • Western Lifestyle: • Energy dense diet, rich in • - fat, • - refined carbohydrates • - animal protein • - Low physical activity • - Smoking and drinking • Early menarche, late menopause… • Consequences: • - Obesity • - Diabetes • - Cardiovascular disease • - Hypertension …and cancer !

  6. EPIC: Organizational Structure EPIC Steering Committee Working groups on risk factors, end-points other than cancer, methodological issues: Coordinators: EPIC-Elderly-EC (Aging) Antonia Trichopoulou (Athens) EPIC-Heart-EC (M.I.) John Danesh (Cambridge U.) EPIC-Diabetes Nick Wareham (MRC Cambridge) Anthropometry Heiner Boeing (DIFE-Potsdam) Total Mortality Kim Overvad (U. Aaarhus) Dietary Patterns Nadia Slimani (IARC) Phytoestrogens Petra Peeters (U. Utrecht)

  7. EPIC Blood Collection and Storage • 30 ml venous blood: • 20 ml citrated +10 ml dry • 28 aliquots of 500 l : • plasma 12(red straws) • serum 8(yellow straws) • buffy coat 4(blue straws) • RBC 4(green straws) • 28 aliquots x 300.000 subjects = 8.4 Million aliquots stored, • half in each EPIC centre, half at IARC • Plus: 12 x 110,000= 1.3 Million in Sweden and Denmark

  8. DNA Extraction EPIC subjects who developed Prostate Cancer DNA Yield n 848 n <2ug/straw 11 1.3% n <5ug/straw 21 2.5% ug/straw Min 0.08 Max 172 Median 50.3 Average 52.8

  9. GenEPIC The EPIC study from a genetics point of view Advantages • Population-based • Ethnic and geographic diversity within Europe • Large sample size within each ethnic/geographic region • Excellent data on lifestyle on each individual • Pre –diagnostic bank of biological samples

  10. Dutch Danish English Swiss German Belgian Austrian French Swedish Norwegian Czechoslovakian Portuguese Italian Spanish Hungarian Polish Russian Scottish,Irish Finnish Icelandic Basque Yugoslavian Greek Sardinian Saami EPIC’s Ethnic Groups From: Cavalli-Sforza et al, The history and geography of human genes, Princeton University Press, 1994 Genetic distance (FST) 0.04 0.03 0.02 0.01 0

  11. GenEPIC The EPIC study from a genetics point of view Disadvantages • No families !! • Cohort study-must wait until sufficient number of cases of disease occur to study genetic effects • Limited amount of blood (no viable cells). Need careful plans on use • Collection of cancer tissues possible, but complex

  12. Studies on candidate genes Selection of candidate genes • Biological plausibility • Some data from previous epi studies • Possibility to study intermediate markers (gene - biomarker - disease) Selection of candidate polymorphisms • Established knowledge of functional meaning • Allele frequencies (function of the available sample size) • Linkage disequilibrium data 1800 DNAs, cross-sectionally selected from EPIC cohorts are used for these purposes

  13. Metabolite 1 Metabolite 2 Metabolite 3 Metabolite 4 Phenotype Enzyme A Enzyme B Enzyme C Polymorphism Gene A Gene B Gene C Pathway scanning Single gene approach • Measure phenotype • Genotype one polymorphism in the coding region of one gene • Correlate or Mandelian randomization analyses Pathway approach • Measure phenotype • Measure metabolites 1,2, 3, 4… • Genotype all polymorphisms in all genes 1,2, 3, 4… • Correlate genotypes & biomarkers with phenotype

  14. Factors associated with breast cancer aetiology: • Attained Height • Sexual maturation • Childbearing (age at first & last and n. of FTP) • Breast feeding • Overweight • Physical activity • Diet composition • Exogenous Hormones ( Steroids, Insulin, IGF..) • and GENETICS !
