In a combined analysis, we identified three new regions associated with bladder cancer on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1: rs1014971, (P = 8 x 10(-12)) maps to a non-genic region of chromosome 22q13.1, rs8102137 (P = 2 x 10(-11)) on 19q12 maps to CCNE1 and rs11892031 (P = 1 x 10(-7)) maps to the UGT1A cluster on 2q37.1. We confirmed four previously identified genome-wide associations on chromosomes 3q28, 4p16.3, 8q24.21 and 8q24.3, validated previous candidate associations for the GSTM1 deletion (P = 4 x 10(-11)) and a tag SNP for NAT2 acetylation status (P = 4 x 10(-11)), and found interactions with smoking in both regions. Our findings on common variants associated with bladder cancer risk should provide new insights into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis." }
