Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Recent whole genome association studies have independently identified multiple prostate cancer (PC) risk variants on 8q24. We have evaluated association of common variants in this region with PC susceptibility and tumor aggressiveness in a sample of European American men. METHODS: Forty-nine tagging SNPs including three previously reported significant variants (rs1447295, rs6983267, rs16901979) and...
