Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human chromosome 8q24 has been implicated in prostate tumorigenesis. METHODS: Consequently, we evaluated seven 8q24 sequence variants relative to prostate cancer (PCA) in a case-control study involving men of African descent. Genetic alterations were detected in germ-line DNA from 195 incident PCA cases and 531 controls using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: Inheritance of the 8q24...
