A haplotype at chromosome Xq27.2 confers susceptibility to prostate cancer.

Human genetics - 1 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

We conducted an association study to identify risk variants for familial prostate cancer within the HPCX locus at Xq27 among Americans of Northern European descent. We investigated a total of 507 familial prostate cancer probands and 507 age-matched controls without a personal or family history of prostate cancer. The study population was subdivided into a set of training subjects to explore genetic variation of...
