Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic susceptibility contributes to the risk of prostate cancer but the underlying genes are largely unknown. Polymorphic loci on chromosome 8q24 have emerged as possible risk factors for breast and prostate cancer from genome-wide association studies. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to define the risks associated with two single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1447295 and rs13281615, in a hospital-based series of...
