Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Three SNPs at 17q12 and four SNPs at 17q24.3 were recently identified to be associated with prostate cancer risk using a genome-wide association study. METHODS: We evaluated these 7 SNPs in two hospital-based case-control study populations, including European Americans (EA; 1,563 cases and 576 controls) and African Americans (AA; 364 cases and 353 controls). RESULTS: Each of the reported risk alleles...
