- Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) have the potential to improve risk stratification. Joint estimation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) effects in models could improve predictive performance over standard approaches of PRS construction. Here, we implemented computationally efficient, penalized, logistic regression models (lasso, elastic net, stepwise) to individual level genotype data and a Bayesian framework with continuous shrinkage, “select and shrink for summary statistics” (S4), to summary level data for epithelial non-mucinous ovarian cancer risk prediction. We developed the models in a dataset consisting of 23,564 non-mucinous EOC cases and 40,138 controls participating in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC) and validated the best models in three populations of different ancestries: prospective data from 198,101 women of European ancestries; 7,669 women of East Asian ancestries; 1,072 women of African ancestries, and in 18,915 BRCA1 and 12,337 BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers of European ancestries. In the external validation data, the model with the strongest association for non-mucinous EOC risk derived from the OCAC model development data was the S4 model (27,240 SNPs) with odds ratios (OR) of 1.38 (95% CI: 1.28–1.48, AUC: 0.588) per unit standard deviation, in women of European ancestries; 1.14 (95% CI: 1.08–1.19, AUC: 0.538) in women of East Asian ancestries; 1.38 (95% CI: 1.21–1.58, AUC: 0.593) in women of African ancestries; hazard ratios of 1.36 (95% CI: 1.29–1.43, AUC: 0.592) in BRCA1 pathogenic variant carriers and 1.49 (95% CI: 1.35–1.64, AUC: 0.624) in BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers. Incorporation of the S4 PRS in risk prediction models for ovarian cancer may have clinical utility in ovarian cancer prevention programs.

- Introduction: The presence of neuropsychological impairment is a hallmark of chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE), and using clinical neuropsychological procedures to generate a valid assessment of the condition is crucial for its diagnosis. The goals of this consensus document are to provide updated knowledge of the neuropsychological characteristics of CSE and to provide internationally acceptable guidelines for using neuropsychological assessments in the process of diagnosing patients who are suspected of having CSE. Materials and methods: A European working group that was composed of experts in the field of the clinical diagnosis of CSE met at several round-table meetings and prepared this report. The first section of the consensus paper addresses a review of the relevant literature that was published between 1985 and March 2012. The second section addresses recommendations for the clinical neuropsychological assessment of patients who are suspected of having CSE. Results: The literature review indicates that the most common neuropsychological impairments in CSE patients are within the domains of attention, particularly the speed of information processing, memory, and motor performance. It appears that the influence of CSE on memory processes mainly involves immediate recall and generally involves verbal, visual and visuospatial material. In the second section, six recommendations are presented regarding important functional domains for the neuropsychological diagnostic process of CSE that relate to the evaluation of neuropsychological impairment, the assessment and evaluation of symptoms, differential diagnostic considerations, the reliability and validity of neuropsychological test results, and the retesting of patients. Discussion and conclusions: These recommendations will contribute to the improvement of the process for accurately diagnosing CSE, better counselling for CSE patients, the comparability of epidemiological data between countries, and finally, by raising awareness, these recommendations will contribute to combating the adverse health effects of occupational exposure to solvents.
