Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ethnicity, when it is used to mean shared genetic inheritance within a group, has become one of the most important factors in determining prostate carcinoma risk.

The authors evaluated the association between polymorphisms in genes involved in the androgen biosynthesis and metabolism...
