    Abstract Many studies have shown that the distributions of the genomic, nucleotide, and epigenetic contexts of somatic variants in tumors are informative of cancer etiology. Recently, a new direction of research has focused on extracting signals from the contexts of germline variants and evidence has emerged that patterns defined by these factors are associated with oncogenic pathways, histologic subtypes, and prognosis. It remains an open question whether aggregating germline variants using meta-features capturing their genomic, nucleotide, and epigenetic contexts can improve cancer risk prediction. This aggregation approach can potentially increase statistical power for detecting signals from rare variants, which have been hypothesized to be a major source of the missing heritability of cancer. Using germline whole-exome sequencing data from the UK Biobank, we developed risk models for 10 cancer types using known risk variants (cancer-associated SNPs and pathogenic variants in known cancer predisposition genes) as well as models that additionally include the meta-features. The meta-features did not improve the prediction accuracy of models based on known risk variants. It is possible that expanding the approach to whole-genome sequencing can lead to gains in prediction accuracy.
    Significance: There is evidence that cancer is partly caused by rare genetic variants that have not yet been identified. We investigate this issue using novel statistical methods and data from the UK Biobank.

    Abstract A novel variable selection method for low-dimensional generalized linear models is introduced. The new approach called AIC OPTimization via STABility Selection (OPT-STABS) repeatedly subsamples the data, minimizes Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) over a sequence of nested models for each subsample, and includes in the final model those predictors selected in the minimum AIC model in a large fraction of the subsamples. New methods are also introduced to establish an optimal variable selection cutoff over repeated subsamples. An extensive simulation study examining a variety of proposec variable selection methods shows that, although no single method uniformly outperforms the others in all the scenarios considered, OPT-STABS is consistently among the best-performing methods in most settings while it performs competitively for the rest. This is in contrast to other candidate methods which either have poor performance across the board or exhibit good performance in some settings, but very poor in others. In addition, the asymptotic properties of the OPT-STABS estimator are derived, and its root-n consistency and asymptotic normality are proved. The methods are applied to two datasets involving logistic and Poisson regressions.
