Functional annotation of risk loci identified through genome-wide association studies for prostate cancer.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The majority of established prostate cancer (PCa) risk-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from genome-wide association studies do not fall into protein coding regions. Therefore, the mechanisms by which these SNPs affect PCa risk remain unclear. Here, we used a series of bioinformatic tools and databases to provide possible molecular insights into the actions of risk SNPs....
