Abstract

We identified 90 germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were informative for discriminative analysis of 9 major cancers among genotyped Framingham Heart Study participants. Support vector machines resulted in the greatest classification performance, which was in the range of 70-100%. The germline SNPs identified are based on DNA from peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained during non-invasive blood draws, and unlike SNPs in tumor DNA, may not be functionally related to tumor characteristics. Further validation studies are required in order to understand the role of the seeding, genetic selection, and lifetime cumulative effects of these germline SNPs in cancer development.
