Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide and replication association studies (GWAs) have identified multiple loci at which common variants modestly influence the risk of developing prostate cancer (PCa). To enhance the power to identify loci associated with PCa, we constructed a meta-analysis of GWAs on PCa. METHODS: Articles evaluating the effects of genome-wide SNPs on PCa were identified by searching the PubMed database. After...
