Our aim was to identify genetic susceptibility factors using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). Methods: We genotyped 605 subjects from 143 families with 381 COME/ROM subjects, using the Illumina HumanCNV370-Duo DNA BeadChip (324,748 SNPs). We performed imputation using MACH software. Forty-eight SNPs were selected for genotyping in an independent family-based sample: all SNPs with P<10-4 (n=36), and 12 imputed SNPs with P<10-4 on chromosome 15 (near our strongest signal). To date genotyping for 22 of these 48 SNPs has been completed. Results: In primary analyses, the strongest association with COME/ROM was on chromosome 15 (P=3.4 x 10-7). For the 22 SNPs tested for replication, only SNP rs10497394, located on chromosome 2, was significantly associated after Bonferroni correction (uncorrected P=0.00026 in the replication data set). Two SNPs in adjacent genes (C15orf42 and KIF7) at the initial chromosome 15 locus were marginally associated, with replication P-values <0.05. Conclusion: We have performed the first GWAS of COME/ROM and have identified a SNP in a novel locus on chromosome 2 that significantly contributes to COME/ROM susceptibility. This SNP is within a 400 kb intergenic region, bordered by CDCA7 and SP3, but is only 500 bp downstream of DNAse I hypersensitive ENCODE regions. The genomic and functional significance of this newly-identified locus in COME/ROM pathogenesis warrants additional investigation.
