<jats:sec><jats:title>Objective</jats:title><jats:p>To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with patterns of aggressiveness of non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients and Methods</jats:title><jats:p>From January 2011 to December 2018, 476 patients with NMIBC were prospectively included. The first step aimed to identify SNPs associated with aggressiveness patterns (e.g. ≥pT1or high‐grade/Grade 3 or presence of carcinoma <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic>) by analysing the data of a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on 165 patients with BC. The second step aimed to validate the SNPs previously identified, by genotyping the germline DNA of 311 patients with NMIBC.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Overall, the median (interquartile range) age was 66 (58–75) years and the rate of patients with aggressive NMIBC was comparable between both groups (46% vs 46%, <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 1). GWAS data analysis identified four SNPs associated with an aggressive NMIBC (rs12615669, rs4976845, rs2989734, and rs2802288). In the validation cohort, the genotype CC of rs12615669, as well as age >70 years at the time of diagnosis were associated with aggressive NMIBC (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.008 and <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> < 0.001, respectively). Genotyping of the entire cohort showed an association between aggressive NMIBC and the T allele of rs12615669 (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.0007), the A allele of rs4976845 (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.012), and the A allele of rs2989734 (<jats:italic>P </jats:italic>= 0.007). A significant association was also found for the entire cohort between the risk of progression and the A allele of rs4976845 (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = 0.04).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>This two‐phase study identified three SNPs (rs12615669, rs4976845, and rs2989734) associated with aggressive NMIBC and one SNP (rs4976845) associated with a higher risk of progression.</jats:p></jats:sec>
