Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer is a common complex disease that disproportionately affects men of African descent. Recently, several different common variants on chromosome 8q24 have been shown to be associated with prostate cancer in multiple studies and ethnic groups. The objective of this study was to confirm the association of 8q24 markers with prostate cancer in African Americans. We genotyped 24 markers along 8q24 and 80...
