Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) of prostate cancer in a Japanese population identified five novel regions not previously discovered in other ethnicities. In this study, we attempt to replicate these five loci in a series of nested prostate cancer case-control studies of European ancestry. METHODS: We genotyped five single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP): rs13385191 (chromosome 2p24),...
