Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer risk may be influenced by single genetic variants in the hormone-regulating genes androgen receptor (AR), cytochrome P450 (CYP17), and steroid-5-alpha-reductase type 2 (SRD5A2). In this study, we comprehensively investigated polymorphisms in these three loci and their joint effect in a large population-based study. We selected 23 haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNP) that could...
